The Details

Tasting Note Bright straw in colour with hints of green. Elegant and expressive, aromas of white stone fruit, lemon zest, jasmine and nougat, layered with subtle notes of flinty minerality and lightly toasted almonds. The medium-bodied palate is a moreish and savoury interplay of tropical fruit, loquat and vanilla custard. Crisp acidity is balanced by creamy texture. The finish is long and complex, revealing nuances of hazelnut and a touch of vanilla pod.
Best Enjoyed With Enjoy with roast chicken, herbs and garlic; pork tenderloin with an apple reduction; or mushroom risotto.
Treatment The finer flavours produced by these clones, in combination with the use of natural ‘wild yeast’ fermentation by indigenous vineyard yeasts, produce a more complex and elegant wine with rich creamy flavour and tangy acidity. Palate structure and texture is further enhanced through extended lees contact. 50% of the blend was fermented & matured for 10 months in French oak barriques (15% new), balance 1-3 year old oak.
