Nose
White peach and nectarine with a lemon curd and nut
surrounding the primary fruit.
Palate
Great length and structure with opulent fruit flavours
balanced by minerality and phenolic structure. The
fruit dances with the oak and yeast influences.
Growing Conditions
It was an early start to vintage. Winter rains were above average.
An unusually dry hot December and January followed with only a
few intermittent showers in late January. This led to a promising
start to the vintage. Whites were off early, picked in the cool crisp
dawns resulting in some wonderful fresh and vibrant wines.
