Reviews:
"Weighty, dry wine with strong, ripe flavours of passionfruit and lime, rich and rounded.  This is not a "leap out of the glass" herbaceous style, but it offers great drinkability."
4 STARS
-Michael Cooper, NZ Listener Magazine, Sept 2009 & Wine Buyer's Guide to NZ Wines 2010

"A terrific wine, declared one judge. The punchy tropical fruit nose has some sweaty elements and the beautiful palate is rich with layers of tropical fruits and citrus."

'TOP 40 BEST BUYS'
-Winestate Magazine, Special Edition 2009, Vol 32, Issue 7

"Passionfruit - and lots of them. On the nose they abound, in the palate they are sweet, ripe and juicy and to the finish they are elegant and persistent."
-TiZ Wine.com, Dec '09

"The nose is fragrant displaying ripe tropical fruit notes as well as the classic herbaceous and green capsicum characters. The palate is full and intensely flavoured showing a rounded mouth-feel, juicy acidity and a lingering dry finish. An appealing wine with plenty of punchy flavours."
