TASTING NOTES

PALATE

Low yields meant the vines put their energy into a smaller crop, giving us intense flavours with striking natural acidity. There is concentration and texture on the mid-palate with flavours of Tahitian lime, florals and a touch of nettle. Fresh, bright and expressive.

VINIFICATION

Carefully pressed grapes were fermented at cool temperatures, and protected from oxygen throughout. Some time in tank on yeast lees followed, helping to build palate texture and complexity.

VINTAGE NOTES

Cool and wet conditions during flowering interrupted berry set, resulting in smaller, lighter bunches for early budding varieties like Sauvignon Blanc. The remainder of the season was mostly mild and dry, with a few well-timed rain events supporting vine growth and health. The result was low yields, high acidity and great flavour.

REGION NOTES

From our estate vineyards at Balhannah and Lenswood, complemented by fruit from a small number of highly valued growers.
