TASTING NOTE > DOWNLOAD AS PDF

COLOUR  Bright straw with green tinge.

NOSE   Vibrant aromas of honeysuckle and mandarin.

PALATE  An elegant wine showing honeydew, citrus blossom and white peach flavours, a creamy texture, hints of cashew and a fine acid drawing the wine through to a long, flavoursome finish.

WINEMAKING   Harvested in the cold of night, pressed immediately to retain freshness, with the juice separated from the skins straight away. A small portion, approximately 18% of final blend, underwent fermentation in French oak barrels, which was left on lees for 5 months to build texture. The remainder was fermented in stainless steel to retain fruit vibrancy and freshness.

VINTAGE NOTES  Margaret River enjoyed a warm, dry Summer with vine canopy management crucial to ensuring fruit quality was retained as the region experienced a couple of extreme rain events. Our white wines are displaying vibrant varietal characters and a bright natural acidity, while the reds are showing more elegant flavours and aromas from this challenging vintage. All in all, the 2021 wines will all have superb flavour, structure and balance.
