Lightly fined for heat stability and estate-bottled unfiltered 1 March 2024.

Light straw colour. Aromas of honeysuckle, chamomile, dandelion and orange blossom. The palate continues with a full-bodied mouthfeel, orange marmalade, honeydew melon, candied ginger, rose petal, white pear and baked pie-crust with mouth-watering spices and a pleasing lengthy finish.

A deeply aromatic and concentrated wine that will benefit from extended cellaring.

Independent Wine Reviews

Dr Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak, Fraternité 2022 (93 Points) Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, one barrel made. A serendipitous blend because of the vintage. Highly aromatic with mandarin and lychee. Lovely texture: fresh and dry with a lovely spiciness. Very expressive with great balance. Tasted July, 2024)
