Aromatics of citrus blossom, green apple with a hint of spice lead to a mouth filling palate of depth and persistence.
Winemaking
Lenton Brae is the only producer of Pinot Blanc in Margaret River. Our cuttings were released from WA quarantine in 2011 and were propagated in house. The 0.5 hectare site was chosen for its cool, southerly aspect - perfect for this early ripening variety fermentation french oak Hogsheads.Genetically similar to Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc is popular in Alsace and in pockets of northern Italy and Germany producing confident medium bodied whites. Minimal intervention is practiced in the winery to highlight the inherent character and flavour profile. Wild fermentation in older, large format French oak and bottling without filtration are some of the techniques employed.
