Wine Spectator

Focused and intense, this offers a burst of fresh mango and lime juice on a sleek and polished frame. Shows plenty of energy on the long finish. Drink now through 2022. (MW)

Filius (son of) is made using the same approach as its siblings, but with different estate-sourced grapes, and barrel-fermented and matured in 22% new French oak. It is well balanced, its early picking showing through in the zesty grapefruit-accented acidity which invests the wine with excellent freshness.

Vinous

Pale yellow-gold. Pear skin, melon, orange pith, chamomile and tarragon on the perfumed nose. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering vibrant citrus and orchard fruit flavors underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. Becomes deeper and smokier with air, finishing with very good energy and firm mineral bite. (JR)

Gently creamy aroma, and then a attractive note of oatmeal and orange on the palate, underpinned by citrus freshness. More savoury on the palate, with a mealy lees quality adding texture and length. Beautifully balanced and long. *Good Value* (JH)
