60% Semillon, 40% Chenin Blanc

Medium-bodied, with an electric freshness piercing the Argentinian ripeness of fruit. A refreshing wine driven by succulent citrus and stone fruits - some ripe skins included - along with a floral quality and that classic honeyed hint that Chenin develops. Some of the wine is aged 8 months in French oak and all of it on its fine lees, which lends a lightly toasty character and a slightly creamier texture. The finish is moderately intense with a smoky, mineral accent to the fruit.

JAMES SUCKLING 94 POINTS - "This shows golden fruit, white flowers and chamomile on the nose. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, crunchy and textured, with a chewy yet pleasant mouthfeel and persistent freshness. Incisive and enjoyable. A blend of semillon and chenin blanc. Drink now."
