A feel-good wine for enjoying on its own or with a range of foods with some spiciness. Exhilarating aromas of canned peach, and pineapple, with floral and mineral tones. Off-dry, towards dry, with ripe peach and melon on the palate, a juicy, smooth, and luxurious mouthfeel with hints of oak influence, and a lengthy finish. Yummy.

Developing aromas of white peach, citrus (lemon), butterscotch, and restrained oak influence. Medium to full body, with fruit flavours of grapefruit and peach, and a long finish. Pair with seafood and shellfish.

Aromas of dark cherry, baked blueberry, and gentle vanilla oakiness waft from the glass of this approaching garnet-hued medium to full bodied Classico Riserva. The mouthfeel is juicy with firm yet well integrated tannins. Flavours reflect the aromas, with added spiciness, and the finish is long. This wine cries out for food matches such as Florentine grilled steak, or gourmet pizza topped with pancetta and salty hard cheeses. Drink now or within the next 3 or 4 years.
