Light to medium straw in colour. Complex white peach, grilled nuts & citrus aromas. Textural, creamy palate with a fine acid finish.
Drought, fire and flood, followed by plague. The 2020 vintage threw everything at us, fortunately the smoke did not reach the Riverina and impact the fruit. The drought again impacted us with a dry winter and early spring. Thus resulting in some restriction of growth and yield. Leading to good quality disease free fruit.
Fruit is harvested at night, pressed and left to settle, roughly racked the day to barrel & tank. Warm fermentation & extended lees contact help give a wine full of flavour and texture. 89% of the blend is fermented in old French oak barriques & Hogsheads. Wine is then left in barrel to mature on yeast lees for 12 months with minimal stirring. 72% of the wine going through malolactic fermentation.
