“The Reserve bottling differentiates itself from the regular cuvee by way of barrel fermentation. This has imbued the wine with a creamy textural weave, a leesy smokiness and impressive breadth across the mouth. Herb, a faint whiff of passionfruit, galangal and verdant foliage all linger within. Despite the wine's ethereal grace, the finish bursts with intensity of flavour and tenacious length.” Rating 94/100
