"100% single vineyard Gin Gin fruit, whole bunch press, natural yeast, full malolactic fermentation, 40% new oak, battonage in barrel for 10 months and unfined.... There is ample shape here – width and weight, plenty of textural interest and a French bakery of deliciousness set in the heart of Tokyo. Toasted nougat, pasty shell, meringue, and stone fruit packed frangipane pie. Swiftly followed by hints of umami, briny green olives, cheese rind, oat crackers, dried nori flakes and miso paste...a cornucopia of spice, toast and wild fearlessness." 96 pts - Cassandra Charlick, Wine Pilot
"Adds another dimension to Dukes' Purus chardonnay. The aim is to capture the rich texture of this variety and express it with a deeply layered complexity, while retaining that keen fresh minerally thread. Savoury butterscotch and crème brulee swirl through an engaging palate defined by a keen acid and a little grapefruit to close. Just a beautiful wine." 97 pts - Ray Jordan Wine
