Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of white peach and grapefruit with subtle savoury oak.
Appearance
Straw yellow with green hues.
Palate
The palate is juicy and balanced with flavours of white
peach and pear with fresh acidity. The use of French oak
adds layers of texture and complexity.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine were sourced from our
historic Audrey Wilkinson vineyard along with
local growers. The grapes were harvested in
January and immediately whole bunch pressed,
cold settled and 40% 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 or cellar for 5+ years.
Vintage Notes
The 2024 vintage began with an early spring that
saw budburst commence ahead of schedule,
with the vines then enjoying a long warm and
sunny ripening period, with average rainfall.
These elements, along with smaller yields
combined to deliver one of the earliest vintages
in living memory. Near perfect ripening
conditions allowed for the development of rich
flavours whilst maintaining natural acidity.
