Nose

On the nose this wine initially offers up maturation notes of vanilla, toast, bread crust before quickly opening into intense scents of passion fruit and fresh mango, then becomes smoother with hints of confectionery, pear barley sugar, and a delicately spicy touch of white pepper.

Palate

It is full and soft with lots of delicious flavour on the palate, a beautiful range of aromas, a saline touch and lovely acidic tension balanced out perfectly by the warm finish.
