Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of white peach and green apples, with underlying savoury oak.
Maturation
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.
Appearance
Straw yellow with green hues.
Palate
The palate is juicy and balanced with flavours of white peach and green ap-
ple 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.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now - 5 years.
Vintage Notes
The 2025 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.
