Tasting Notes

Aroma

Reserved aromatics of melon, pear, cinnamon, damp cedar, rosewater and nectarine.

Maturation

12 months in new and one and two year old French oak puncheons, 12 months in stainless steel.

Appearance

Brilliant, light straw.

Palate

The palate is very light on its feet, a nice entry and mouthfeel that shows very energetic and mouth-watering fruit. This has a Bickfords lime cordial edge, that stays focused and vibrant. The secret to this wine is always the sneaky acid profile; the fruits sits around but the main act is the clean, fresh, reverberating chalky and textured acid profile. This wine shows a leanness that is reminiscent of our original bottling in 2012.

Vinification

Whole bunch pressed to new and one and two year old French oak puncheons. aged for twelve months on a fine lees. Btonnage performed once every four months. Racked to off gross lees and put back to barrel. Lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling.

Cellaring Potential

This will age very well for a very long time.

Range Notes

Starting out as a trial in the cellar, Adrestia turned out to be a wine of texture and balance that fully merited the introduction of a white wine to the flagship series. Adrestia was the daughter of Ares and Aphrodite. She was a goddess of equilibrium, revolt & just retribution and often accompanied her father Ares to war as a balance between good and evil.

Winemakers Comments

I personally love this style and am surprised that its rarely seen in Australia. It shows how great cool climate Semillon can be with a careful hand on levage.
