Opens quietly, succinctly, in ripe apple, nectarine, yellow peach and citrus peel. But it becomes a different story once you hit the palate and then there’s plenty of fruit forward summery goodness on display in peach, nectarine, melon and citrus. It’s assisted by warm, vanillin, toffee oak which isn’t shy either and an equally good measure of texture throughout. Shows off some considerable Margaret River ripe-fruited and luscious charm which undoubtedly will make it a real crowd pleaser.
