Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A fresh and fragrant blend of Gewurztraminer with Pinot Gris. Aromas of lychee, peach and pear. Light and perfect to enjoy with shrimp or other seafood dishes.
Crafted with local Oliver grapes from our estate and our vineyard manager’s property, this fragrant white blend is approximately ? Pinot Gris and ? Gewürztraminer. On the nose are sweet peach, lychee and tropical fruit aromas. Softly textured, this vintage has delicate white peach and ripe apricot flavours on a juicy palate. Unoaked and just slightly off-dry makes this crowd pleasing wine ever so delightful for enjoying on a sunny patio.

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.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
