“Already delicious, the 2023 vintage has strong personality. A single-vineyard wine, it is ripely scented, full-bodied, and dry, in an intensely varietal style with crisp, penetrating, ripely herbaceous flavours, a hint of saltiness, and a very long finish. 5/5 Points.”
Michael Cooper, New Zealand’s most acclaimed wine writer with 40 books and several major literary awards to his credit, reviews SPOKE ‘Awatere’ 2023.
