Tart appley yet petrolic nose. Smells like dancing through a rainy granny apple orchard on a crisp fall morning! Refreshing lemon delight! Beautiful forward astringency and minerality that lifts with slight sweetness just before finishing delicately and softly floral, a surprisingly whispered closure for such bright opener. Clean with delightful complexity.
Pairs beautifully with spicy poke, wasabied yellowtail sashimi, curried Indian cuisine... or with turkey dinner! — 7 years ago

Love Croatian wine so much, such a diverse region. The server described this as sandy and minerally, a risky wine, and the chance was well worth it. Gooseberry, lemon, yellow flower on the nose, a bracing palate full with yellow orchard fruit, sea salt, and white stone. Long finish. A win — 8 years ago

This is a sweet cider that I don't taste much oak in, but it is still nice and fall-dominant, which is exactly what I want a cider to be. — 9 years ago

An elegant blackberry and cassis nose. Lush deep red colour - good overall mouthfeel with good bit of tannin. But well balanced. Best of NZ yet. Will continue to develop over the next 5 plus years - if you can wait. — 8 years ago

Recognizable acidity and palette weight that you look for with a Cetral Otago PG. chalky and blue fruit. Bit of orchard fruit as well — 9 years ago

Matthew Keiser

9.0

Dry French style cider aged in oak, slightly fizzy. Excellent, but Oak adds a bit of astringency that I'd prefer not be there since it muddles the mineral and fruit flavored of the unoaked version. — 10 years ago

Elephant never fail to impress. lovely very bright juicy raspberry and blackberry. Spiced plum, b pepp, smoky, more liq. Deeper, denser. lighter in style. Has b pepp in abundance. Gorgeous style. Outstanding with Telaggio cheese (or most soft rind cheeses I'd wager) — 10 years ago
