Tasting Notes

A blend of 51% Sauvignon Blanc, 33% Semillon and the rest Sauvignon Gris, this wine has staggering aromatics of orange blossom, lemon custard, pineapple and mango. Exotic, rich and full-bodied, it should drink nicely for at least 10 -15 years or more.

Score: 95

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com Maturity: 2013-2028 01 February 2013

A sensational blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon with nearly 14% natural alcohol, this superb, honeyed effort exhibits orange marmalade, lemon custard and exotic tropical fruit notes.

Score: 93 - 96

Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 04 May 2011

45% Sauvignon Blanc, 25% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Gris, 5% Muscadelle. 100% new oak for 16-17 months. 32hl/ha. Intense nose of opulent sweet white fruit, exotic fruits and apricots. In the mouth it’s broad but a bit heavy, lots of weight and oil. Not very subtle.

Score: 93 - 95

Albany Vintners, - 04 May 2011

A blend of 45% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Semillon, 15% Sauvignon Gris and 5% Muscadelle, this has a lifted nose of grapefruit, brioche and a touch of chalk dust. Fine definition. The palate is well balanced with crisp lime-tinged entry, hints of lemon rind and dried apricot that leads to a poised, long finish. Very fine. Tasted March 2011.

Score: 90 - 92

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 22 April 2011

Greenish straw. Open, fruity(!) nose with the scent of lime Spangles. A bit boiled sweets/hard candy rather than subtle though there is lots to enjoy in the short term. Big and boisterous.

Score: 16

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2014-2018 11 April 2011

Quite ripe, with lots of tangerine, candied lemon peel and gooseberry notes carried by lush straw and salted butter flavors. Lengthy finish.

Score: 92 - 95

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator 05 April 2011

Rich, slightly spicy and almost exotic white fruits, superb ripeness and harmonious back-up of acidity, elegance and depth.

Score: 18
