The aroma has a lovely balance of florals, tropical and spice. An array of white flowers, melon, white stone fruits and passionfruit. The palate is vibrant and bright, with flavours of honeydew melon, passionfruit, crisp acidity of lemon and limes and the length is finished with the freshness of grapefruit.
Our 2020 vintage started two weeks early, this was due to the warm summer season leading up to vintage and these conditions carried on through the ripening stages. Harvest began early February and was conducted during the cool nights to retain aromatics. The grapes were crushed and lightly pressed under inert conditions as to avoid any extraction of harsh phenolics, and oxidation. Combinations of yeast strains were used to enhance the varietal characters and to produce fresh, fruity, clean wines. Temperature controlled fermentation in stainless steel with relatively cool ferments lasting an average of 14 days.
91 Points- James Halliday Wine Companion
"Typically grassy on the nose with a floral, talcy, ashy perimeter. The sauvignon blanc (60%) packs a tidy little punch, and the balance of semillon elevates the texture to almost chewy. With no oak or lees to speak of, this is pure and taught with a fine, salty acid line defining the finish. Pretty brilliant value for money here."

Huon Hooke
"Palish hue with a crisp, clean, grassy aroma with hints of lemongrass. The taste is frisky and crisply tart with bracing flavour and refreshing qualities. Lemon sherbet too, and a hint of grapefruit. Attractive fruit flavour here, intense, and it also has length."
