Grown at Alexandra, the 2015 vintage (4*) is a lively, still youthful wine. Bright, light lemon/green, it is very fresh and tangy, with strong lemon/lime flavours, gentle sweetness (13 grams/litre of residual sugar) and appetising acidity. The 2016 vintage (4*) is similar. Mouthfilling, it is vibrantly fruity, with incisive, citrusy, slightly sweet flavours (12 grams/litre of residual sugar), mouth-watering acidity, and very good vigour and harmony. Best drinking 2019+.
