On the nose ripe pear, ripe blossom and mandarin notes integrate with a delicate hint of spice. The palate is rich with a silken creamy texture. Ripe pear and white peach flavours combine with a delicate touch of spice & nuts. It has an excellent length and structure. The wine is certified organic and is vegan friendly.

91 Points
Alluring and complex bouquet of honeysuckle, wild flowers, organic apple and pears, leesy spicey and mild toasty layer. On the palate – equally complex and layered with wild white honey and flowers, fresh and baked pear, light spices and plenty of texture; energy and charm, lengthy finish – a lovely wine.
