Description
"This highlights the dilemma we face with old vines, as Moss Wood vineyard ages. On the one hand, the productivity is gradually tailing off. Yet, on the other, the potential quality increases, because the lower crops are supported by a bigger root system, and less likely to be negatively affected by stress. Other important positive outcomes from Mother Nature’s good mood were no disease in the vineyards and plenty of Marri blossom to distract and feed the silver eyes, keeping them out of the vines. That said, just to be on the safe and ensure no damage, we did put nets on the vineyard.
Bright condition. Pale golden straw with golden hue. Aromas of ripe white peach, nectarine, lemon cheesecake, fresh vanilla bean and fig. Very complex with subtle notes of nougat, toasted oats, cashew and shortbread in the background. Intense but fresh, vibrant and balanced in all aspects; ripe fruit notes of nashi pear, lime, white peach and rock melon. Subtle secondary notes of shortbread biscuit, freshly baked pastry and oak derived vanilla bean, caramel and roasted nuts. Acidity and phenolics are firm without being aggressive, and interweave with the middle and back palate seamlessly." - Winemaker Notes
