Vintage:
2001 vintage in Coonawarra began with a very warm and dry summer culminating in the ho'est January and February for many years. In contrast, March and April temperatures fell to well below average. Occasional rain towards the end of vintage ini&ated the mould Botry&s Cinera on the grapes. Although rare in Coonawarra, this combina&on of cool, heavy early morning mists and sunny days in late May provided ideal condi&ons for the mould Botrytis Cinera to thrive and concentrate the grape flavours.
Food Matching:
A unique wine style made from Chardonnay, this wine is ideal chilled as an apertif with Foie gras, pâté or Terrine and fresh crusty French loaf, or can be enjoyed with a wide range of sweet treats, desserts and puddings.
Colour:
Brilliant yellows and &nts of straw greens.
Nose:
A complex array of classic botry&s wine aromas. Zesty citrus, liquor cumquat and marmalade fragrance with the elegant aged scents of honeyed floral nectar and light toffee.
Palate:
A richly layered palate showing liquor cumquats and marmalade citrus fruits with refined honeyed light toasty floral notes. The plush palate is complemented by a fresh zesty lingering finish.
