Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Starts with subtle floral rose aromas, then bursts into a delicious palate reflecting lychee, ginger, ripe peach and rose petals. Great acidity and balance. Gorgeous! Pair with curries or roast turkey.

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Deep lemon, dry, full bodied and very flavourful. Pronounced aroma of spice (predominantly ginger), lemon, lime, ripe Asian pear (a bit funky) and earthy. Taste continues with spice (ginger),Asian pear and citrus. Try with curries

Pam Hatton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Pale gold with hints of copper. Subtle rose, ginger and lychee on the nose. The elegant and restrained flavours of peach and lychee carries through on a backbone of just enough acidity. A bit of an unexpected hot finish.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Bright and fresh! Aromas of pear, lychee, and honey with a hint of a floral note. Medium bodied and smooth with medium acidity on the palate, along with fresh orchard fruit, lychee, and a slightly spicy honeyed ginger note. a bit of heat from alcohol on a lengthy finish. Enjoy with turkey or mild vegetarian curries.

Wineboy rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Lovely mouthwatering aromas of pear and rose water with a surprising citrus note. Palate starts out lighter but builds to a bigger power level. More spicy pear flavours on the palate than floral. Heavy mouthfeel perhaps from the 14% alc level.
