Nose
Nashi pear, white peach and crushed cashews.
Palate
A palate that delivers both freshness and flavour. Saline, arrowhead acidity carries an abundance of ripe stone fruit characters, whilst subtle toasted almonds linger on the finish, indicative of the large oak casks.
Growing Conditions
The Rocky Road Vineyard is in the southern part of the Margaret River region.
Winemaking
After desirable conditions during flowering, the summer started cool and wet, slowing down the growing season significantly. Conditions improved in late February, developing into a perfect Indian summer. The result is whites that are packed with energy and poise, and reds that got the benefit of a long, cool ripening periods; tannin ripeness and complex flavour developments. Alcohols are lower than previous years, even with greater physiological ripeness.
