It's a wine built to show what a specific patch of ground can do with this variety, favouring texture and aromatic detail over broad, generic fruit. Crab apple and fuji pear notes run through the nose, with a gentle spiciness carried onto a palate that has real grip and a touch of cinnamon. There's a small amount of residual sweetness balanced by bright acidity, giving the wine a lively, food-friendly character without tipping into anything cloying.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the winery says:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the nose there's red crab apple and fuji pear with a touch of spice, moving into a textural palate of apple and pear crumble spiced with cinnamon. Winemaker Ben Glover has built in a small amount of sweetness for lift and drinkability, balanced by the wine's structure and acidity. Alcohol sits at thirteen percent, and Zephyr suggests pairing it with barbecued smoked salmon, coconut cream and udon noodles. Cellar it if you like, the wine is built to hold for up to eight years, though it's equally enjoyable young.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the experts say:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eJane Skilton MW, The Real Review (2025 vintage) - 92 points\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRestrained aromas of ripe peach and nectarine with a little tropical mango and melon. There's some sweet biscuit too. On the palate the flavours are juicy and ripe with an appealing line of acidity running through the fruit. There's length and intensity on the crisp, dry finish.
