Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromas of peaches, mandarin peel and ruby grapefruit.
Palate
The palate leads with great minerality and tension. You can feel the natural acidity of Riesling and the texture from the Semillon. Loads of citrus tang, think grapefruit pith and brown lime. Lovely texture and phenolic grip.
Vinification
The gentle extraction of phenolic molecules (tannins, aroma and colour) occurs by treating these white grapes like a red wine which in this case meant 10 days on skins. It brings complexity and mouthfeel that is both enticing and refreshing by bringing the gentle acidity to the forefront. This wine spent 5 months in neutral oak.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now or cellar for up to 5 years.
Range Notes
Fruit grown on our estate using organic and biodynamic practices is represented by the willow tree on the label which resides over our dam. A bit other wordly like Saturn, skin contact wines are growing in popularity. But theyre not new. Like the ancient clay pot featured on the label, this style of wine is enjoying a renaissance with progressive drinkers.
