91pts James Suckling

Crisp and succulent, showing lemons, passion fruit and papayas on the nose, following through to a medium body and fresh acidity. Plenty of citrus character with more tropical influence toward the juicy, mouthwatering finish.

Tasting Notes

Punchy aromatics of lemon and lime citrus with undertones of juicy tropical fruits, fill the nose. Plush on the palate, showing juicy grapefruit freshness with lively acidity carrying these classical Waihopai Valley characters to a lengthy finish.
