Lifted aromas of passionfruit, lemon zest and cut grass make for an enticing combination, with complex flavours of passionfruit and grapefruit on the palate. Fine mineral acidity provides balance and poise, with good length to the finish. Why not get some in the fridge now?
Awards and Accolades
2015 Vintage: 92 Points - James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion "Estate-grown and tank-fermented, the wine has the minerally structure of semillon, which holds the tropical contribution from the sauvignon blanc exactly where it should be; grapefruit skin and pith, snow pea, dried herbs and punchy acidity all contribute to a complex finish."
From the Winery
A dry Winter and fleeting Spring was followed by a warm growing season with welcome rainfall in December and January leading to full, healthy canopies enabling excellent yields and great flavour development.
The estate grown fruit was harvested at optimal ripeness in the early hours of the morning and pressed to tank. The juice from several blocks were fermented separately in tank and kept on lees post fermentation to improve mouthfeel. The Semillon (67%) and Sauvignon Blanc (33%) components were blended prior to bottling to create the harmony between the two varieties in the final wine.
