Looking at this Southern Valleys expression, there's a gravitas here that sets it apart from mainstream Marlborough bottlings. Gooseberry and passion fruit weave through dried thyme and cracked black pepper, building to a palate with unexpected concentration. The texture shows real substance. Almost chalky minerality threading through the finish with impressive persistence.
