Tasting Notes
A beautiful bouquet of lime, kiwi and Granny Smith Apples. The palate is perfectly balanced with a layered, creamy palate of orange, pomelo and citrus peels. Saline, fresh acidity and a long finish on the palate. Excellent ageing potential and superb versatility with a wide variety of dishes complete this irresistible package. The subtle use of oak helps to uplift the fruity characters of this versatile cultivar.

Grapes were gently crushed and pressed. Wine was cold fermented to show freshness and fruit, but kept on the lees for 11 months to give the wine a creamy mouth-feel. 25% of barrel-fermented wine was blended with the tank-fermented portion (75%) to add a wooded dimension.

5 Years after vintage.
