'Here is a creamy, opulent white, featuring peach, butterscotch and quinine aromas and flavours. A hint of rosewater and spice as it winds down on the moderately long finish.' - Wine Spectator

'The nose on this wine is shy and subtle. The palate comes in with easy but balanced flow, speaking of
Mirabelle, a certain creaminess, subtle mouthfeel and lovely freshness considering the ripeness of
2018. It's a gentle wine with inherent balance. 90 points' - Anne Krebiehl MW from Wine Enthusiast

The mouth has well-balanced structure and beautiful minerality which gives way to a certain light sweetness during the finish. - Neil Gladding, OWC
