Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense aromas of white nectarine and citrus with cashew characters and savoury oak.
Appearance
Pale yellow, with green tints.
Palate
The palate is rich and powerful with white peach and grapefruit flavours. The
use of barrel fermentation and lees stirring have contributed to a textural
mouthfeel and complex savoury notes.
Vinification
The fruit was harvested in the cool of the early morning and immediately
whole bunch pressed. The cloudy juice was transferred to French oak barrels
and puncheons of which 30% were brand new and 70% were 1 year old.
Following primary fermentation a small portion of the wine also underwent
malolactic fermentation to add a textural mouth feel. The wine was matured
for nine months in oak with fortnightly lees stirring to add complexity before
final blending and bottling.
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.
