Lotus flower

Regarded as a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration & rebirth. Its characteristics are a perfect analogy for the human condition. Even when its roots are in the muddiest waters, the lotus produces the most beautiful flower.

review

Fine and delicately fragrant, the bouquet shows raspberry, white flesh stone fruit and lemon peel aromas, followed by a brilliantly linear palate offering pristine fruit flavours with zesty acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026.

Candice Chow - Raymond Chan wine reviews

review

Bright, even, pale peach pink. The nose is softly full, with attractive aromas of red berries, watermelon, blossom and a touch of spice. Medium-light bodied, aromas of red berry, raspberry, watermelon entwined with cherry blossom and a subtle hint of pepper. The acidity is crisp, flows with good energy and lends a dry, nuanced finish. This Rosé is crisp and thirst-quenching, bursting with delicate red fruit and freshness. Serve as an aperitif or match with sushi over the next 3 years.
