Tasting Notes

I have to say, I think this is the best Art Series savvy yet released. It combines the beautiful aromatic nuances evident immediately with a crafted textural palate. The palate is sublime with its rich intensity and concentration of fruit lifted and revealed with a minerally acidity. That texture comes from 30 per cent barrel fermentation in one-year-old French oak barriques and then four months fermentation in barrels. The blend of these with some tank fermented components has created an ideal expression of this variety. -95pts, Ray Jordan for Wine Pilot

The slip of texture, creaminess and nuttiness comes from its four months in used French oak barriques plus regular lees stirring. Add to that grapefruit/lemon/lime juice, fresh herbs and passionfruit too … well, it amounts to a lovely drink. Great with food or on its own. -93pts, Jane Faulkner for Halliday Wine Companion
