Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of white peach and green apple with an underlying savoury oak.
Appearance
Straw yellow with green hues.
Palate
The palate is juicy and balanced with flavours of white
peach and green apple and crisp acidity. Subtle use of French
oak adds structure and complexity.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine were sourced from our local growers
as well as the historic Audrey Wilkinson vineyard. The grapes
were harvested in January and immediately whole bunch
pressed, cold settled and 30% of the blend racked to French
oak barriques and puncheons and the other portion to tank for
fermentation. No secondary malolactic fermentation took
place in order to retain fruit freshness. The wine was matured
for a 8 months with the barrels stirred fortnightly to enhance
texture. The wine was racked and lightly fined with skim milk,
filtered and bottled.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now - 5 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2023 vintage began in the Hunter Valley cool and wet
growing season with above average rainfall in Spring. These
wet conditions increased disease pressure which was carefully
managed with good vineyard practices. The cool conditions
continued into late December and early January but the wet
weather cleared to sunnier than usual days. Near perfect
ripening conditions resulted in wines that have intense
flavours, whilst maintaining freshness and natural acidity.
