Nose
Staggered harvesting of fruit from a combination of estate sites
and trellising systems allows expression of a spectrum of aromas and
flavours from sweet grassiness to punchy ripe citrus in the finished wine.
Palate
This complexity also provides exceptional structure and palate weight with
considerable ageing potential. Cellaring for five or more years is rewarded
with rich complex nut, straw and toast characters in harmony with ripe
lemon and sweet grassy nuances while still retaining a pleasantly surprising
level of freshness, vibrancy and length.
Growing Conditions
A beautifully wet winter in 2013 provided a great start to the Spring growing
season. Near perfect weather during flavour
development with no heat
waves or large rainfall events recorded and a total of 4.3mm falling between
December 2013 –
February 2014. Abundant
Marri blossom before and
through
out vintage saw no pressure or damage from silver eye birds with
2014 being a tru
ly ‘Classic’ Margaret River weather pattern and an
exceptional grape growing season.
