Growing Conditions

A winter of inadequate rainfall was followed by a wet and cold spring which reduced yield due to poor flowering conditions. Whilst the cool start to summer further delayed ripening, the benign warm weather of autumn allowed for even fruit ripeness across all varieties. The resultant white wines are subtle in fruit flavour and fine in structure.

Nose

Delightful scents of white field flowers, pear drop essence and citrus oils enriched with minerals, nutmeg spice and caramel.

Palate

From the fermentation and malo-lactic in oak, the palate’s pliable core of citrus, peach, honeydew and dried pear are moulded around a fine nut-meal texture and crème brulee richness. A distinct and soft mineral acidity finishes the wine.

Food Pairing

Char-grilled marron, smoked chicken salad, brie and pistachio nuts.
