COLOUR   Light straw with pale pink tinge.

NOSE   Lifted aromatics of Pink Lady apple, musk stick, bay leaf and a hint of                cardamon.

PALATE   A generous and rounded palate with fresh nashi pear & white nectarine alongside an interesting spice element. A fresh acidity draws 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. The pressings portion underwent fermentation in French oak barrels, which was left on lees for 4 months to build texture. The remainder was fermented in stainless steel to retain fruit vibrancy and freshness. The wine was blended and filtered prior to bottling.

VINTAGE NOTES   A wet Winter and Spring laid down great water reserves going into vintage 2022. A cool & wet Spring meant a slow start, with flowering and veraison tracking behind previous years, but the weather soon warmed up and ripening charged ahead. The warm, dry weather that came gave us great flavour concentration across all varieties and allowed for maturation of tannin & flavour with minimal disease pressure, providing for another great vintage in Margaret River.
