Reviews and Ratings

A mix of Awatere with Wairau Valley fruit it’s a very powerful statement about the Marlborough style. Concentrated wine with a mix of passion fruit, mineral and tomato leaf flavours. Impeccably balanced and with a lingering finish that won’t quit. Score: 95 Source: Bob Campbell, MW, bobswinereviews.com

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
