DESCRIPTION
"AUSTRALIA'S FIFTH LARGEST PRODUCER!"
Pale straw with green hues. Fresh pear and stone fruit, balanced with a hint of french oak. Up front fruit sweetness is balanced by a crisp clean finish, the mid palate has a creamy weighted texture gained from lees stirring.
Fruit classification was based on those vineyards showing flavour expression, characteristic of Sacred Hill quality. Healthy berries profiling melon, pineapple and stone fruit were ideal for this wine style. This wine was fermented cool over a two week period. Selected parcels were fermented with the inclusion of American and French oak staves. Once fermentation was complete wines were racked off gross lees and allowed to maturate on fine yeast lees to build structure.
Cellaring
This wine is made for immediate consumption however can be cellared for up to two years.
Suggested Cuisine
