Tasting Notes
Pale straw with green hues. Aromatically intense and complex with grilled citrus, white fleshed stone fruit, hints of spice and fresh picked nuts and burnt match and gun flint all fighting for attention. The palate on this wine is textural and concentrated with a seamless acid line holding the wines shape and providing drive and line. White stonefruit and grapefruit citrus flavours are complimented with layers of texture from barrel fermentation and time on lees all flowing through the mouth with a refreshing finishing thanks that hallmark Yarra Valley acid line. A delicious wine from a fantastic site.
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 to 500 litre French oak puncheons for a natural fermentation followed by 10 month maturation on lees.
Vintage Notes
A warm, wet spring followed by a dry autumn period has delivered good crops in near perfect harvesting conditions
