A light green/gold colour leads to a stylish citrus, herbal nose. The youthful palate has good intensity and integration and a salty mineral finish. Less showy. Rating: 91 Points; International Wine and Spirit Competition 2019

This is instantly appealing on the nose showing feijoa, kaffir lime, Granny Smith apple and floral characters, leading to a wonderfully expressed palate that's succulent and flavoursome. It's bright and pristine with an impressively long juicy finish. Rating: 94 Points; Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
