"Upfront and splendidly attractive, the wine shows mango, rockmelon, vanillin oak and oatmeal characters on the nose, followed by a sumptuous palate delivering excellent weight and silky flow. Mouthfilling and flavoursome, while remaining harmonious and well structured" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2022

"Intense and quite complex chardonnay with peach/stone fruit, struck flint, oyster shell, hazelnut and spicy oak flavours. Elegant and attractive wine with a dry and lingering finish" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Oct 2022

"Aromas of ripe pink grapefruit and white peach, lemon and sweet barrel scents. Taut and youthful on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet, a distinctive youthful acid line accentuated by fine wood tannins then apple and citrus, white fleshed stone fruits and a fine mineral quality. This is likely the very last vinetage release from this site as the vines have now been pulled. Delicious, fresh, a fine complexity and balanced lengthy finish. Best drinking from late 2023 through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2022

This wine has a pale yellow straw hue and displays a beautiful array of aromas and flavours. The nose possesses white peach and yellow citrus notes combining with bran biscuit, fresh pastry, hazelnuts, flint and toast. With layers of flavour, the succulent mid-palate mouthfeel reveals textural complexity and poised, focused acidity leading to a long, elegant and memorable finish.

Settled weather conditions late in 2020 provided an optimum environment for flowering and even fruit set. The important ripening months of February and March were warm and dry, perfect conditions for berry flavour development and harvest.

Do not waste your money
Color: Large size (ø 7.4")
Not for aggressive dogs. I thought this was good for the money it’s not. My dog chewed this up in less than a minute. Not too happy

It's A Beast - But It'll Last Forever
Color: Large size (ø 7.4")
This big orange interactive dog toy does a few things differently—and mostly, it does them right. First, there are no batteries and no charging required. The internal noise maker is activated by movement, producing little squeaks and quacks that grab a dog’s attention without turning into an electronic science experiment. Second—and more importantly—this thing is built to last. It’s designed to work as both a ball and a tug toy, which means it’s far tougher than the typical interactive balls that get shredded in short order. I fully expect this one to stick around for a long time. That said, the reaction from my dogs was… mixed. All of them were a bit spooked at first. The sounds made them curious but cautious. My Border Collie was the first to commit and play with it, and she gave it a solid try. After a while, though, interest faded and the toy ended up sitting on the floor largely ignored. I can get them engaged if I roll it around and hype things up, but the two dogs that usually love tug-of-war haven’t latched onto this one yet. My guess is this toy will shine more outdoors. Once spring rolls around and it’s flying across the yard instead of the living room floor, I suspect it’ll get a lot more action. My dogs tend to burn energy—and enthusiasm—much faster outside. If you have a heavy chewer that destroys fragile interactive toys (and drains your wallet in the process), this is a very welcome alternative. Considering how quickly $35–$50 electronic balls can meet their end, this toy earns its place in the basket for durability alone.

Good for non chewers
Color: Large size (ø 7.4")
Dog lived it for the 4 minutes before he chewed a large hole in it. Definitely not for heavy chewers.
