$45.00 inc. GST
Accolades:
92/100 – Stephen Wong MW (2023 vintage)
Tasting Note: A complex nose of hazelnut, crème brûlée and freshly cut white stone fruit. A vibrant energy filled entry to the palate with a crystalline character of lemon and generous nectarine – all framed with a salivating citrus pithiness giving a lengthy finish.
Winemaking Notes: Handpicked on the 17th of March with solely the ‘heart’ juice pressed directly into a 1-year-old French oak puncheon (500L) and the balance into a seasoned oak barrel. A vigorous wild fermentation began a few days later on full juice solids. Primary fermentation was complete after a few months at ambient temperatures. It was aged undisturbed on full lees for 12 months. During summer malolactic fermentation naturally occurred. It was then racked with a small 40ppm addition of sulphur dioxide. Bottled unfined and unfiltered in May 2025. All movements in the winery by gravity. A naturally occurring sediment is expected. 700 bottles produced.
