Pristine fruit is what this wine is all about. Fine and elegant, with excellent mouthfeel. The winemaking is quite superb, the texturing oak and barrel work adding depth and impact without detracting from the stone fruit notes. The finish has excellent length and persistence.
A creamy nose of lemon skin and spiced, salted curd on gently toasted sourdough with a cedar dusting. The palate is full of Gingin power, with savoury tones of lemon leaf, crushed almond and spiced beeswax framing the juicy crunch of yellow nectarine. It’s already drinking well now, but will in time open up and the detail will show itself among the broader brushstrokes. 84% Gingin clone and 16% Bernard (Dijon) clone from the top of the estate’s vineyards in Wallcliffe, Wilyabrup, Carbunup and Karridale. Wild ferment and malolactic, left on lees in barrel for eight months and followed by a further six months in tank.
