Pale straw with a hint of green and gold. This wine has lifted aromas of mandarin zest, quince, yellow peach, sweet basil, gooseberry, white pepper and distinct wet stone minerality, with structured herbal notes. The palate is elegant, with juicy mandarin, earthy cumin, sweet basil and ripe yellow star fruit (carambola). Layered and textured, the wine is clean and fresh with flavours of ripe pineapple and a mild tannin note sitting over a layer of umami.

The second vintage of this experimental wine from Kim and Erica Crawford, which supplements green-tea tannin extract for sulfur, is as delicious and outside the box as the first. A pale-gold hue, it's rich and honeyed with up-front notes of butterscotch, grilled pineapple, fresh wild herbs and, yes, green tea, although it's less prominent this vintage. The palate is dry-more than the nose might suggest. It's textural and weightier than your typical Marlborough SB. There's a lovely crunch of tangy acidity and a skinsy grip to the finish.

This distinctive version is bright and aromatic, with effusive pineapple, passion fruit and roobios tea flavors, along with a hint of rose petal and lemon basil. Finishes with juicy citrus notes of tangerine and pomelo on a fresh, bright frame. Drink now. 2,250 cases imported.
