Nose
The nose presents a toasty and savoury, almost gunflint
character with underlying citrus and barley sugar appeal.
Palate
A dry and medium to full bodied style with well integrated acid and lemon
grass, preserved lemon and grapefruit flavours. The wine is extraordinarily
balanced and poised with a very long finish.
Bottling
January 2016.
Winemaking
Fermented and matured in 50% new,
50% two to three year-old French oak. A blend of primarily Sauvignon Blanc with small components of Semillon
and Chardonnay. There is the judicous use of French oak and extended
time on yeast lees.
Aging
Cellar to 2025.
