Crystalline pale salmon pink. A very refined, complex and light perfume of strawberry cream, musk and fresh rose petal, with a hint of blood orange and oregano. Arrives on the palate soft and round, with luscious plump fruit. Subtle natural acidity leads to a long, dry mineral finish.
A year of peculiar weather challenges due to the La Niña season, where our commitment to organic viticulture was vital to the successful growth of quality, balanced fruit. A cool and wet spring prompted the need for an intense leaf plucking program to mitigate disease risk. Canopy management was a priority throughout February and March to combat unusually warm and moist conditions. A rainfall event in early February provided a timely drink for the red varietals, followed by warm weather which was ideal for the Chardonnay to achieve ripeness. A second rainfall incident in early March was followed by sunny and breezy conditions to dry off the fruit for healthy ripening. With judicious canopy management and a crop of naturally resilient grapes, we are pleased to say that fantastic quality fruit was ripened and harvested with little-to-no disease in our vineyards.
Erin Larkin James Halliday Wine Companion
"90/8.7/1.3% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon/malbec, fermented and matured in stainless steel. Pithy, fine and a touch stalky, this has plumpness from the shiraz et al on the mid palate, and a spool of briny acidity through the finish. Crunchy."
