Tasting Notes
Aroma
Lifted ripe fruit aromas of honeydew melon and pear with
hints of ginger.
Appearance
Pale yellow with light green hues.
Palate
Abundant fruit flavours of apples, pears and honeydew melon.
The palate is juicy and fresh with acidity providing a crisp, dry
finish.
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 the third week of January, and immediately
pressed to a stainless steel tank. A cool ferment was used to en
sure
aromatic characters were retained. Following fermenta
tion
the wine was sulfured and racked off yeast lees, with a light
fining of skim milk before being filtered and bottled under
screw cap to retain its youthful freshness.
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.
