The bright, light lemon/green, tightly structured 2020 vintage (4.5*) was grown in the Southern Valleys and Awatere Valley, and made with use of barrel fermentation. Fragrant, with slightly smoky aromas, it is youthful, with searching, ripe stone-fruit flavours, showing very good complexity, and firm acid spine. Best drinking 2023+.
