TASTING NOTES

A very satisfying bouquet with lots of passion fruit, sherbet, tropical fruit and typical Marlborough herbaceousness; the slightly minerally note on the nose shows up the 17 Valley fruit in the wine very nicely. The wine has a very intense entry onto the palate starting at the tip of the tongue and spreading out towards the very back in a wave of flavour. The acidity is quite apparent with great intensity of feijoa, lime and minerality leaving the palate with a very long finish. There’s also plenty of room for development to add to the already weighty mouthfeel.
