white wine style:
Light & Crisp Fruity & Smooth Rich & Creamy
winemaker's notes:

The color is pale, golden yellow with lovely, brilliant highlights.

On agitation, the intense bouquet, featuring white peaches, lindin blossom, and boxwood, reveals toasty and mineral overtones. The aromas develop on aeration in the glass, while retaining all their initial intensity, making this an unusually complex wine.

alcohol by volume: 14.5%
critical acclaim:

"This isn’t sweet, but just so wonderfully rich. It’s the concentration of botrytis that makes the wine. The texture is velvet, but with a spicy bite to it. Apricot, honey and marzipan all contribute to a wine that will age over decades. "

Wine Enthusiast

"Has lovely vanilla and tropical fruit character. Full, rich and long, yet elegant and racy, with dried pineapple and white peach. Gorgeous. This is two-thirds Sauvignon and one-third Semillon. Score range: 92-94 "

Wine Spectator

"Somewhat muted floral aromas of jasmine, orange blossom and honeysuckle over candied pineapple. A waft of anise and some cedar. The palate is quite restrained with well balanced sweetness versus medium to high acidity. Very long finish – a mineral character coming through. "
