TASTING NOTES

By nose: Pineapple and tropical scents. By mouth: Honeyed richness balanced by bright citrus. Pairs beautifully with butter dipped fresh crab.

VINEYARD NOTES

The grapes for this bottling come from what our winemaker lovingly calls the “heart of the vineyard” – a particular area on the eastern side of the estate that he is particularly attached to, which overlaps a few different “blocks” and amazingly, when outlined in a drone photograph, is heart-shaped.

WINEMAKER NOTES

This particular wine started off as a trial blend, just to see what if &#8211. But, like a twist of fate, the result is a very happy, delicious ending.
