Palate
Gentle minerality on the palate with citrus and apple notes. The wine is textural and soft with a hint of flintiness. There is a gentle acid structure and a clean, lingering finish. Vibrant, complex and balanced.
Growing Conditions
The vintage conditions in Pemberton were almost perfect, with little unseasonable rainfall resulting in fruit with great balance and full flavours.
Winemaking
Fruit was harvested at night with crushing and de-stemming. Some skin contact was employed to extract flavour and texture from the fruit. Juice was transferred with high solids to tank and 100% old French oak for fermentation. A selection of yeasts were used.
Food Pairing
Fish and chips, Salt and Pepper squid, Greek salad
