The Darling Gewürztraminer
4 1/2 stars (2010 vintage)
“The 2010 is dry (4 grams/litre of residual sugar) and richly scented, with an oily texture and concentrated citrus fruit, spice and slight ginger flavours. Handled in tanks (40 per cent) and old oak casks (60 per cent), it shows considerable complexity; open mid-2011+.”
Michael Cooper, Buyer Guide 2011
The Darling Pinot Gris
4 1/2 stars (2010 vintage)
“The 2010, 20 per cent oak-aged, has strong personality. Mouthfilling, with strong peach, lychee and spice flavours, fresh and pure, it is slightly sweet (7 grams/litre of residual sugar), with an oily texture and excellent depth and harmony.”
Michael Cooper, Buyer Guide 2011
