There’s real crunch to this wine – it’s like biting into a crisp apple – and it’s a great way to kick things off. The flavours here are along the lines of pear, nectarine, musk and spiced apple, but it’s the wine’s crunchy, textural presence that really makes you sit up and take note. We have an excellent wine on our hands here. 93 points.
