Equally comfortable as an aperitif or a dessert wine. Aromas of fresh pine, cut grass and some sweeter melon and lychee notes. The palate opens with clean citrus flavours, with lemon tart, orange rind and some smoked candy apple notes developing throughout.
Awards and Accolades
90 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Muscat a petits grains, one assumes; stacks of flavour, so much so that flavour - and sweetness - demands a dessert, or at least fresh fruit. 375ml."
From the Winery
The grapes are gently crushed and pressed with as little skin contact as possible to minimize the phenolic content of the wine. The primary fermentation is slow in stainless steel tanks and is arrested mid ferment by the addition of neutral spirit, retaining the grapes’ natural sweetness.
