TASTING NOTES

AROMA

Preserved lemon pith, shaved almonds, grapefruit pith, white peaches, apricot.

PALATE

The palate is rich and creamy in texture, quite opulent for its youth. It’s flinty and struck match on the nose but everything is fresh and bright.

WINEMAKERS COMMENTS

Since the beginning, we’ve pushed the region towards its full potential, challenging and exceeding our own benchmarks along the way. Our signature methods embrace the new and draw inspiration from the past, borrowing from traditional European techniques. Layered with insight and experience, we’ve refined our processes to produce a high standard of wine recognised by casual enthusiasts and international critics alike.

VINIFICATION

Sourced from three of Tumbarumba's oldest vineyards; Johansen/Glenburny, Wondalma and Tooma. Grapes are handpicked and whole bunch pressed straight to 35% new French barriques and puncheons – balance to 1 to 4 year French barriques. Wild yeast fermented and left on lees to go through full malolactic fermentation. The wine is then kept on lees. Barrels are stirred and topped weekly. No finings. Filtered and bottled early February 2023.
