The bouquet shows subtle notes of white peach, guava, fig and nougat combining with cashew nut, vanilla and toasty characteristics derived from French oak and yeast lees maturation.
The complex and supple palate melds fig, stone fruits and citrus with brioche and almonds. The texture combines a fine acid to give elegance and length of flavour.
Selected vineyard parcels were harvested and gently pressed to extract the finest quality juice. A combination of stainless steel and French oak fermentation has provided a wine of great freshness and complexity.
The wine was matured on yeast lees for four to five months with regular lees stirring to build texture in the wine. Carefully selected components were blended, receiving minimal fining and filtration prior to bottling.
RATED 90 POINTS
(JAMES HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION 2014).
"Light straw-green; a fresh and flavoursome wine with fragrant white peach, nectarine and citrus on the bouquet and vibrantly juicy palate, oak a bystander."
