88/100 45

Attractive wine with good fruit purity and moderate botrytis influence that still allows citrus and stone fruit varietal characters to shine through. Moderately sweet and supple wine with a fine acid backbone. It has a slightly leafy/canned pineapple character that I find intriguing.

Tasted: Feb 2009   Closure: S'cap    Average price: NZD $27 (~USD $22)
