James Suckling - 90 points

COLOUR  Brilliant pale straw with a green hue.

NOSE  Elegant aromas of jasmine and orange zest.

PALATE  Palate of ripe tropical fruits, pineapple and orange, a juicy acidity gives the wine structure and length.

WINEMAKING  Machine harvested in the cool of night, straight to press. Juice was immediately separated from the skins and pressings. The Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon underwent fermentation separately then blended prior to bottling to create a wine that has interest and structure whilst maintaining harmony.

VINTAGE NOTES  Vintage 2023 will go down as a classic Margaret River vintage. It got off to a slow start thanks to a cool winter & spring, but a lack of spring rain events lead to good fruit set, resulting in solid yields across the board. Warm and sunny conditions through January, February & March proved ideal for ripening for all varietals with low disease pressure.
