Tasting Notes

Aroma

Tahitian lime peel and crushed orange. Oyster shell and brown sugar.

Palate

Racy acidity, candied citrus and orange blossom screams Arinto through and through. Subtle flecks of strawberry add interest, while great phenolic texture makes for a chiselled finish on the back palate.

Vinification

Hand harvested. A portion of the fruit spent two weeks fermenting as whole bunches in a sealed fermenter before being pressed to old oak puncheons to finish the ferment. The balance of the fruit was cooled and gently whole bunch pressed. This crisp pure juice was run off to old oak to ferment. The two parcels rested on fine lees before blending and bottling in the winter.

Cellaring Potential

Ideal drinking now and for up to another 3 years.

Vintage Notes

La Nia weather for a third year running meant good winter and spring rainfall and healthy, balanced vine growth. The season developed with moderate crop levels and a cooler than average summer meant slow and even ripening in the vineyard. Fruit was harvested with excellent acidity and great flavour at lower alcohol.

    This ends up being an interesting and delicious white wine. Lots of texture yet a kind of levity and lift to taste – gingery spice, lemon curd, green mango and briny minerality are the mainstays. It has a good deal of chalky pucker in texture and still a light juiciness, finishing with a good twist of bitter lemon freshness and generally just feels refreshing and pleasurable while marching to the beat of its own drum. A success, overall. Points: 91/100
