Pungent and precise, with a textbook mix of green aromas, tropical fruits and lushness. Feels lively and juicy, with lime, lychee, green apple and pineapple flavors that settle on passion fruit come finishing time.

Prickly, lively, natural and all the way true, with sweaty, zesty aromas of nettles and green fruits. Solid, linear and smooth in the mouth, but with enough acidity and kick that the lime and passionfruit flavors pop. Elegant SB with a citrusy, clean personality.

Initially it offers up vegetal notes, but later the nose settles on bell pepper, green melon and lime aromas. The palate is fine and linear, with a slight creaminess and good acidity. Flavors of citrus, green herbs and grass lead to a lightly herbal finish.

Cola, spice, peppercorn and compost aromas are present and accounted for. Firm, structured and tannic across the tongue, with refined but powerful herb, blackberry, carob and spiced flavors. A lush and generous wine with mocha and herbal notes on the finish. Only 200 cases made.

Floral red-fruit aromas get heavier with airing. Feels thick and full, with soft tannins and mild acidity. Tastes oaky but not overoaked, with caramel, vanilla and standard red-berry and plum flavors. A touch stewy on the finish, with a resiny oak flavor hanging in there.
