Description
"Complex and highly lifted aromas of grapefruit, citrus blossom and white nectarine combine with gun smoke and freshly grilled nuts. The palate is refined and complex, driven by intense lemon pith that flows into a creamy, velvety texture. The finish is precise and ever so savoury leaving a tactile sensation that is long and incredibly moreish. Grapes were hand picked and pressed to 500 litre French oak puncheons (36% first use) without clarification or racking for non-temperature controlled fermentation. Upon completion of fermentation, the wine was immediately sulphured to preserve freshness and acidity and rested on its lees for 12 months. The wine was transferred to tank for a further 4 months prior to bottling." - Winemaker Notes
"Grapefruit and nectarine, almond and light spice, fine perfume. Cool feeling wine, zesty style with lemon peel, nutty and savoury, plenty of acid bite, but gently creamy too, with a fine chalk dust finish of excellent length. A little bony and discreet, perhaps, but has flavour and appealing texture. Saline too. A couple more years should see it right." - 94+ Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
