Aroma
Lemon juice, lime and lemongrass, with hints of green
apple notes.
Appearance
Very pale yellow with green hues.
Palate
Fresh lemon, lime and green apple flavours along with
hallmark sherbert characters. The crisp acidity delivers
freshness and length.
Vinification
The grapes for this wine were handpicked in January and
immediately whole bunch pressed to minimise phenolics.
The juice was cold settled for 2 days before being racked
clean. The juice was fermented cool (14-16°C) for 15 days
with a neutral yeast to retain varietal characters. The wine
was then lightly fined with skim milk, filtered and bottled
early to retain freshness.
Cellaring Potential
Enjoy now, or over the next 10+ years.
Vintage Notes
The 2022 vintage began in the Hunter Valley with significant
late spring rainfall which then gave way to drier but cooler
than average weather through December and January. The
resulting long, cool ripening period allowed for the grapes to
develop complex and intense flavours, whilst maintaining
freshness and bright acidity.
