Nose
The wine’s fragrant aromas of stone fruits, cashew and white
flowers show great intensity and harmony.
Palate
The palate reflects this with layered flavours of juicy ripe nectarine,
a touch of fig and nuances of honey, dairy, almonds and nougat. The
texture is glossy with a wonderfully creamy mouth feel
complemented by a really fine mineral acidity – the melding of nutty
oak and fruit is faultless. A wine of elegance and finesse with
dazzling breadth, depth and persistence of flavour.

Gnarawary Road, just south of the township of Margaret River, and Sebbes Road south of Witchcliffe.
