Awards/Ratings
James Halliday – 97 points (Halliday Wine Companion). JamesSuckling/Nick Stock – 94 points. Widely praised for concentration, texture and ageing potential (cellaring to ~2029)

Tasting Note
Bright lime, pear and green apple with lychee and stone-fruit notes; toasted almond, nougat and light cedar. Chalky acidity, rounded texture and a long, dry savoury finish with herbal lift.

Food Pairing
Western: oysters, grilled prawns, roast chicken, goat or sheep’s milk cheeses, creamy seafood pasta. Asian: sashimi/sushi, steamed fish with ginger & scallion, Vietnamese seafood salads, light Thai seafood or lemongrass dishes, stir-fried greens.

Production Method
Each variety vinified separately, barrel-fermented and matured (mostly older French oak) with lees stirring; typically ~11 months ageing and relatively firm pressing for texture.
