The 2018 vintage (4.5*) is a pale gold, fleshy wine, estate-grown in the Redstone Vineyard, in the Bridge Pa Triangle, and matured for 10 months in French oak barrels (25 per cent new). Full-bodied and sweet-fruited, it has ripe, peachy, slightly spicy flavours, gently seasoned with oak, very good complexity, and a dry, smooth finish. Drink now or cellar.
