Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A luminous quartz colour with a vibrant aroma of lemongrass and lime irresistible to the nose. The palate delivers a balance of quality primary fruit to crisp sleek acidity, providing a tight structure with citrus acid finish.
Awards
“Brilliant light to medium- yellow colour, the bouquet boasting lovely buttered-toast developed semillon aromas, while the palate is generous, ample mouthfilling and classically lemon, toasty and beeswaxy. It’s all delivered with tremendous finesse and persistence. Extreme quality, here. A great wine and a classic” – Huon Hooke – 26th January 2020
Vineyard Notes
Exceptional vintage, dry and warm to hot. Excellent whites produced.
Production Notes
The Semillon grapes have been whole- bunch pressed to minimize phenolics and then put to stainless-steel tank to begin fermentation, the juice is fermented to 2g/l residual sugar. The wine in vat is left on lees for 3 weeks to build texture and complexity into the finished wine. This wine sees no oak or maturation.
Winemaker Notes
Bottled early to retain freshness and vitality of the primary fruit
Food Pairing Notes
Freshly sucked oysters, light kingfish or prawn cocktails.
