    “Made from estate vineyards, with positive, bright colour and some early complexity building on the bouquet and palate, suggesting some work in the winery (lees or a little oak?). Either way, the varieties have fused so completely it’s pointless to analyse them one by one. An all-purpose food wine with a two-year future.”

    “Young and incredibly drinkable. I really enjoyed it. 92 Points and worth its $22.”

    Technical Notes

    A warm and dry spring followed by a summer punctuated with perfectly timed rain events, was otherwise low in humidity. The autumn harvest period was dry and protracted with vintage conditions best described as on the warm side of perfect. The resulting white wines show an abundant and bold array of varietal expressions which are layered and pure.

    Each vineyard site is vinified separately at low temperatures in either stainless steel tanks or old oak barrels. The delicate free run juice is separated from the pressings in order to maintain the vibrancy of the fruit and structural elegance of the wine. Prior to bottling, the wine is blended, fined and filtered. Bottling occurs in June of the vintage year, in time for a spring release.

    Tasting Notes

    A crystalline lemon yellow in colour with tantalising aromas of guava, gooseberry, pink grapefruit and sweet melons. An abundance of exotic tropical fruits with hints of sweet herbs and lemon curd provide plenty of flavour and texture on the palate. The acidity of the wine is mineral fine and citrus pithy, which adds texture, length and balance to this enticing wine.
