Q PINOT GRIS

2023

A rather enticing bouquet with a mix of spice and ripe white fleshed, some citrus and fine lees qualities. Very generous and textured as the wine touches the palate, flavours of pears and poached apples, quince and mineral. Just off-dry with a lick of sweetness to counterbalance the warming alcohol and generous acid line. Lots of weight and satin cram touch leading to a lengthy finish. Well made and offering excellent drinking from 2024 through 2026.

Q ROSE

2024

Plush, ripe, pure-fruited, and enticing bouquet. Dry and delicious on the palate with flavours of fresh tart raspberry and plum. Some cherry, and lively floral tones. A layer of fruit tannins delivers mouthfeel and phenolics. While the core fruit flavours remain persistent. A lovely wine with finesse and charm. Best drinking from the day of purchase through 2027.

Q PINOT NOIR

2021

Moderately intense wine with cassis, black cherry, oyster shell, floral/rose petal, vanilla and spicy French Oak. Youthful wine with good cellaring potential although the wine is accessible now.

94/100 DRINK 2024 - 2030
