The Details

Tasting Note Initial aromas of spice, lemon curd and grapefruit opens to stone fruits with a hint of peach yogurt. The palate is defined with brilliant, fine acidity, the texture of sun-kissed quartz and crushed oyster shell. Flavours of pear fill the mid-palate, with a seam of citrus keeping focus on the long, salivating finish.
Best Enjoyed With Chicken piccata with rocket, lemon vinaigrette and parmesan flakes. Grilled asparagus pasta with a lemon sauce, black pepper and crispy sage leaves.
Treatment The fruit was meticulously hand-picked before whole bunch pressing, and then placed into a mix of new and older French oak puncheons and a 700 litre ceramic egg for 10 months. Winemaking included fortnightly stirring to assist develop texture and malolactic fermentation to naturally adjust acidity for balance and structure.

Accolades

Brightly fruited and precise
Light, bright yellow hue; lemon-curd, lemon-butter aromas, some baguette crust too, the palate refined and delicate, brightly fruited and precise, with high energy, a very dry finish and lively acidity that provides cut and length.
