Tasting Notes
Vibrant in appearance and brimming with energy on the nose, this opens with an intense core of white peach and nectarine, layered with pink grapefruit and ripe citrus. Fruit purity leads the charge, framed by green melon and flashes of kiwi. An electric spark of flint minerality adds dimension, calling to mind the crisp petrichor of rain on warm asphalt.
The palate is bright and dynamic, driven by stone fruit, lemons, and a tart finger-lime pop. Delicate undertones of toasted cashew and pastry evoke Key Lime Pie vibes without excess richness. Silky and glass-like, the texture directs flavour seamlessly from entry through a lingering, focused finish. A modern contemporary classic with a little something extra.
Vineyard Notes
This wine was sourced from the north facing Henk Vineyard, sited in the red volcanic soils of Woori Yallock.
Winemaker's Notes
A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine: handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly into 500 litre French oak puncheons for a natural fermentation followed by 16 months maturing on lees.
Vintage Notes
A vintage defined by warm, dry conditions, healthy crops and harvesting in late summer/early autumn. The resulting wines have great intensity of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities.
