    Awards

    "Exquisitely fine and elegantly fragrant with white flesh stone fruit, lemon pith, crunchy apple and acacia aromas on the nose. The palate is concentrated and persistent with refined texture and beautifully pitched acidity, finishing impressively long and linear. July 2023."

    95 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

    This is from the Twin Valleys Single Site Reserve range, from the King Valley River vineyard. A fine and elegant blanc de blancs style, neatly balanced and with appealing persistence. The colour is a very pale yellow. The nose weaves through gentle hints of brioche and nuts, lemons, citrus and more, but it is the pears, riverstones and mineral backing which dominates here. Crisp, clean and bright, the freshness is appealing. A refined and refreshing style, this will provide impressive drinking over the next two to three years.
