Pale colour. Expressive apricot, sweet pear, flinty/burnt match aromas with some honeyed notes. Buoyant and sweet with ample apricot, stone fruit, honey, flinty flavours, loose knit chalky textures, superb mid-palate volume/sucrosity and long fresh mineral/saline acidity. Some woodfire notes at the finish. Interesting to see how this develops as still in parts. Best to keep for a while. 8.5% alc 124 g/l sugar Now–2038 Stage Door Wine Co.

Rolls across the tongue, texturally warm and creamy, peppery spice aromatics in tow with citrus, baked apple, green pear fed by a brisk acidity. The finish helps seal what is a very appealing food-friendly style of wine, rising on a note of spiced apple and citrus zest.
