Currently in great form, the 2018 vintage (5*) was estate-grown and hand-harvested in the Noa and Raupo Creek Vineyards, and fermented and matured for 18 months in French oak barriques (11 per cent new). Bright, light yellow/green, it is powerful, with a fragrant, ripe, complex bouquet. Weighty and dry, with rich tropical fruit flavours, moderate acidity and great harmony, it's a distinctive wine, highly recommended.
