Nose
The wine has an immensely appealing bouquet of rosewater and Turkish Delight, intertwined
with orange blossom and musk.
Palate
The spritzy palate is brightly fruity, displaying fresh strawberry and
Turkish Delight flavours, combining zesty fresh acidity to deliver a lithe,
fresh and delicate finish.
Growing Conditions
As with every vintage some challenges arise from Mother Nature and in 2016 it was rainfall
early in the season that challenged our viticulturists and winemakers. With love and diligent
care our team walked the vineyards every two days and dropped any affected fruit on the
ground, to ensure only the highest quality fruit was harvested. As the weather brightened we
started picking early February with all of the varietal characteristics & style we expect from
our Southern vineyards.
Winemaking
The muscat grapes are cooled before crushing to the press, remaining on their skins for up to
24 hours to extract colour and flavour. After pressing, the juice is settled bright, and then
fermented cold with an aromatic yeast strain. When the desired alcohol level is reached, the
fermentation is arrested by rapid cooling in order to maintain natural grape sugars and the
carbon dioxide gas evolved during the fermentation process. Bottling occurs in July of the
vintage year, in time for a spring release.
Appearance
A brilliant rosy pink colour
Food Pairing
Enjoy as a palate cleanser as part of a dégustation menu, with a fruit
platter on a hot summer’s afternoon or with vanilla panna cotta and
fresh strawberries.
