This wine has a delicate bouquet of grapefruits, lime and citrus pith with hints of ripe
yellow nectarine & white pepper.
Palate
Flavours of spice and bright green apple
complement a somewhat textural wine with tightly woven acidity & a dry, refreshing
mineral finish. This 'broadness' of acidity, livens your whole palate and enables food
flavours to be superbly carried. A true food wine.
Vinification
An mild oxidative approach to this wine, with no sulphur added right
through until bottling. This help’s build texture and is balanced by the majority stainless
steel fermentation with a proportion of wild barrel ferment in older French Oak with
some gentle Sur lie and batonnage played out over 4 weeks.
Cellaring Potential
This wine is enjoyable now, but with its spicy texture and palate
weight, it has the structure to flower into a classic over the next 4 to 6 years.

Austria's most significant white grape it is widely planted in the regions
of Niederösterreich & Burgenland, but now has found a new world home all across
the Adelaide Hills in South Australia.
