Description / Reviews
"Grown by the Michelini family in the heart of the King Valley at 328m altitude, our Savagnin grapes were cold soaked on skins for half a day before pressing, then fermented in old French barriques over winter and spring. The wine saw partial malolactic fermentation. Bottled in October, this wine offers subtle wildflower and honeysuckle notes on the nose with some spiced apples & a hint of oxidative notes. The palate is very generous and textural with warm embracing peach and pear." - Foreign Friends, Winemaker
"Crushed, wild ferment in small format, neutral oak, aged 10 months on lees. Another top release of a wine that excites the palate, combining complexity, a lingering savouriness and a juicy freshness. It makes for a most charming and un-put-down-able wine. Ripe lemon citrus, stone fruits, red apple, spring blossom and honeysuckle aromas. Concentrated on the palate, with an additional layer of nutty mealiness and preserved lemon that brings with it an impressive depth of flavour as well as length. Gently creamy across the tongue, with a lemony tang to close. An exciting find." - 94 points, Jeni Port, Halliday Wine Companion
