"It's pristine and fabulously aromatic on the nose, showing Granny Smith apple, white flesh peach, garden herb and lemon sorbet characters. The palate delivers excellent weight and intensity, wonderfully framed by saline texture and bright acidity, finishing impressively long and structured."
Cellaring: Now to 2036
Food Pairing: Oysters, scallops, crab, clams, lobster, prawns. Grilled fish, salmon with dill, and also great with recipes that contain basil, coriander, rocket and especially mint. It pairs well with a Thai green chicken curry.
Picked during cool evenings, fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks was utilised to retain the fresh varietal aromatics with 10% fermented with indigenous yeast. After fermentation, the wine underwent an extended period of lees contact, adding texture and length to the wine. The result is a hand-crafted wine combining the bright fresh fruit characters with an underlying minerality and fine structure.
The 2024 season was characterised by a low cropping level and a very dry Summer. Regular winter rainfall and a very cool Spring encouraged canopy growth but reduced cropping levels. A Summer drought further reduced cropping levels and produced disease free vines with a lot of ripening capacity. The slow progression into Autumn, along with the long-drawn-out ripening period, allowed the fruit to reach optimum ripeness in perfect harvest conditions.
