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
The Margaret River Vintage 2015 will be remembered for its concentrated flavours in white
wines and delicate fruit forward red wines. With very low crop levels and a severe lack of
marri and karri blossom which resulted in ravenous marauding birds hungry to eat grapes.
Flavours were bright and fresh with natural acidity high and in good balance, showing superb
elegance & finesse, which we aim for in all of our wines. Once again the weather gods were
on our side for a classic Margaret River vintage.
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.
