Another stunning wine from this Central Otago producer. This is a refined and sophisticated wine with rich black fruit on the nose and palate.

As its name suggests, this is elegant. Although light in weight and with a chalky texture the black/red savoury fruit is fresh and lingers for a while in the mouth

Given its cigar box, black fruit and sweet spice aromas the palate is a bit of a let down. This is a tough wine to enjoy with very drying tannins which are also quite chalky. The wine also tails off quickly so overall was a bit of a disappointment given the pedigree.

This wine was selected by a group of around 40 customers of Naked Wines - including me - to be the best of the 60 or so Aussie wines they tasted one afternoon. These were wines not currently exported to the UK. It's almost water white which makes the aromas all the more surprising given it is very aromatic - tropical fruit, tangerines - it's very vibrant. It's rounded in the mouth and has a long - in fact a very long - finish. A classy wine.
