What reviewers say
“#10 on Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year list. A good thing this came out at the LCBO before the list dropped or it wouldn't have been so cheap. Lovely aromas of elderflower, honey, butter, hay, & passion fruit.”

Summary
A musky fusion of sweet scented fruits - nectarines, peaches and nashi pears with a dash of orange zest - intermingled with a floral perfume reminiscent of star jasmine and citrus blossom. A generous palate with citrus and cassis flavours, deliciously ripe and succulent, finishing with that classic Marlborough zing.
