Nose
A fragrant, bright perfume expressing pineapple, mandarin
and lemon scented gum with a hint of freshly cut parsley bringing
a subtle herbal element
Palate
A classic Margaret River blend of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc.
It has citrus and passionfruit aromas and a zesty, textured palate
of pure and pristine fruit. It is vibrant, fresh and crisp.A refreshing palate with a clean, crisp opening and mid
palate leading to a succulent, mouth-watering finish. Delivers a
generous volume of citrus, rockmelon and guava flavours
balanced by a driving natural acidity that sustains the fruit weight
effortlessly. A rewarding drink-alone or capable of matching light
to medium richness cuisine.
Growing Conditions
Moderate spring conditions at the end of 2015 helped establish a
healthy fruitset and better yields than the previous two seasons.
January temperatures were warm, interrupted by one rainfall
event late in the month, great viticulture management, clean,
well-trimmed canopies and subsequent warm weather prevented
disease risk. White varieties were harvested throughout February
with elegant flavours and bright natural acidity.
Winemaking
Semillon's citrus and floral notes are complemented by the
tropical passionfruit aromatics of Sauvignon Blanc. These
varieties are picked at reasonably low baume, capturing fine
high-note aromas, crisp primary fruit flavours and good acid
structure. The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc juices are then
fermented under cool conditions using specially selected yeasts
to ensure the varietal characters are accentuated. This wine was
fermented without the use of oak for pure fruit expression.
