$37.99 USD $39.99 USD
Winemakers Notes
Straw yellow with golden highlights. On the nose, white flowers and white-fleshed stone fruits evolving into notes of buttery hazelnuts. Honey hints develop over ageing. Mouth-filling and plump with honey and fresh ripe fruits (peach, white currant). Great length with an elegant citrus finish.

Rated 93 Points Wine Spectator
Very fresh, with a long, pure stream of verbena, white peach, lemon pith, yellow apple and chamomile notes, all supported by a deftly inlaid spine of shortbread that runs from start to finish. Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Roussanne and Bourboulenc. Drink now through 2026.
Rated 93 Points James Suckling
Honeysuckle, apricot, papaya and lemon-curd aromas. It’s full-bodied with smooth, creamy layers of ripe fruit, yet it stays fresh. Nice tropical fruit at the finish. And hot stone. Drink now.
