Extremely pale straw colour. Grassy, slightly spicy, ripe lemon-grapefruit nose that has some reductive, slightly resiny, matchstick notes. Dry, medium bodied, mineral-tinged, slightly spicy, gently grassy, ripe melon-lemon-grapefruit flavours with a lingering, crisp, unoaked finish. Has 13.5% alcohol and 5 g/L residual sugar with a screwcap closure. TONY ASPLER / 90-points / BEST BUY - Lifted nose of grapefruit with a floral note; medium-bodied, dry, elderberry and citrus flavours; beautifully balanced with great length. |

TASTING NOTE: Veteran Kevin Judd has turned out another fine effort. Passion fruit and pea tendril aromas impart a welcome green edge that's never overwhelming, picking up layers of white grapefruit on the plump, medium-bodied palate. The finish is intense, long and citrusy. Editors' Choice. Score - 91 (Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast, July 1,2017) |
