Tasting Notes

Aroma

Aromas of fleshy peaches and crisp pears with fresh citrus notes of lemon and mandarin, lay amongst hints of blossom, thistle and subtle oak sweetness.

Palate

These aromas carry to the palate where they are harmonised by the delicious salinty, chalky texture and fresh acidity distinctive of its coastal site.

Vinification

70% whole bunch, fermented in a combination of puncheon and stainless steel tanks. Aged in French and Austrian oak puncheons, 15% new for 8 months.

Vintage Notes

A cool, late winter delayed bud break, followed by a mild spring with winds that reduced yields. A warm, dry summer led to extended hang time. It was an iconic season, resulting in a concentrated yet fresh outcome.

Food Matching

This wine pairs perfectly with seafood, fresh pasta and summery salads.

    Restrained and discreet aromas of lemon peel, oyster shells, talcum powder and orange blossoms. The palate is light- to medium-bodied with high-tension acidity and an underlying power. Very mineral and polished. Delicious. Drink or hold. Screw cap. Points: 93/100
