Pale straw in appearance, the bouquet has aromas of citrus blossom and tinned pineapple with hints of grapefruit, lemon, lime, and asparagus.
A rich luscious mid palate of golden tropical fruit and lemon cheesecake. Hints of lime juice cordial mixed with grapefruit acidity adds focus to the wine with a seamless textural finish allowing the wine to be the perfect partner with food.
This was a mild growing season with the fruit ripening with good flavour intensity in early February. Flavour development was steady. Patience prior to harvest allowed us to achieve flavour intensity while still managing to maintain moderate sugar levels. A small percentage was barrel fermented in old oak to give richness and complexity to the palate.
WINESTATE MAGAZINE, JULY/AUGUST 2013
"Lemon aromas with herbal notes and nice crisp lemon sherbet palate."
