Expert Review: Mike Bennie- 88points, It’s that musk clone chardonnay with gewurztraminer blended in. Yarra Valley hometown for both. Something different. Love how the wine name tells you what’s up. Fragrant white with jasmine and frangipani floral scents woven through tangerine, lychee and green apple. Flavours are in that zone too, a little floral, some slickness to texture in lychee and apple juice meshed, but the finish honours the promise of the wine name, tingly, tart and eventually talc-like powdery dry. It’s an interesting, frisky, fresh white built around kinda simple fruit character, but delivers a great, easy drinking experience.
