<p><b>95 points</b> - Medium red with some purple. Superbly balanced, the fruit on the cherry liquor spectrum. A bit of that amaro bitters in the background. High acidity, super refreshing with zingy acid line almost bordering on carbonation. Outstanding wine.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 17, 2025.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - High toned, cool climate aromas. Juicy, great concentration and flavour paired with the cool climate acidity. There is a suggestion of fresh herb, particularly in the finish. A smart wine.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Sep 17, 2025.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Aromatic and floral. Lovely intensity and fine style, very laser like. Very good, and very refined on the palate.</p><p>Tasted on Tue, Sep 16, 2025.</p>

<p><b>94 points</b> - Bright light gold. Spicy, honeyed aromas, inviting, lees. Full flavoured, textural and creamy, there is drive and power and depth here. A powerful pinot gris with guts. Some winemaker influences I expect. There is a tickle of sweetness too, but it’s well managed with the phenolics, and tannin structure.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Oct 7, 2023.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Greenish colour. Pear and lychee nose. Creamy texture. The textural feel is a key feature here. Slight sweet notes are kept well in check by the acidity. Note: not sure about the price. There is plenty of excellent Alsatian Pinot gris for less money.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Oct 7, 2023.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Pale water gold. Dried thyme herb, slight reductive aromas and minerally, lime characters on the nose. Tangy on the palate, there seems to be a suggestion of residual sweetness, minerally, flinty, chalky touches.</p><p>Tasted on Sat, Oct 15, 2022.</p>

<p><b>91 points</b> - Almost water pale. Dried herb, citrus aromas. Bright, zippy and vital acidity. Citrusy flavours, very cool climate. Dry and crisp and vital.</p><p>Tasted on Sun, Jun 19, 2022.</p>

<p><b>95 points</b> - lifted perfume of violet and dark scented fruit, with hints of savoury character on palate. A young wine, yet shows hints of things to come. Good tight structure and fine integrated tannins.</p><p>Tasted on Mon, Sep 13, 2021.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Light gold. Attractive cool climate floral aromas, touches of fresh cut apple. Bright, vital and nuanced. 22g residual sugar. High tension but good balance with the sweetness.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, May 7, 2021.</p>

<p><b>92 points</b> - Pale grassy colour. Floral grapey nose. Chalky. Creamy palate. Typical Otago. Lemon. Quite intense. 22 g/l residual, but the acidity makes it appear almost dry. Ends with some nice salinity.</p><p>Tasted on Fri, May 7, 2021.</p>
