"Pristine and exquisitely expressed, the bouquet shows Gala apple, lemon pith, white floral and green tea notes, leading to a concentrated palate that's linear and lingering. Offering gorgeous fruit purity with finely textured mouthfeel, it's mouth-watering and sustained with a refined finish. Style: Off-dry. At its best: now to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Aug 2023
"Varietal, floral and lofted bouquet showcasing aromas of exotic flowers and fresh lemon, crisp green apple and a flinty lees quality. A dry wine touches the palate with a back bone of acidity then flavours of citrus and tree fruits to reflect the bouquet. As the wine opens out on the palate it become rather delicious with a salivating saline acid line and flavours of apple and citrus, lime and a whisper of sherbet. A wine that will develop nicely over the next few years with best drinking from 2026 through 2034+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Aug 2023
"Medium-dry riesling with lime, white wildflowers, oyster shell and pineapple flavours supported by tangy acidity. Subtle sweetness and vibrant acidity give the wine a pleasing tension. Delicious now but will mellow with bottle age" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Aug 2023
Pale lemon colour in the glass. Beautifully pure aromas of white florals, tonic water, mandarin, lemonade popsicle, wet stone and Granny Smith apple. Off-dry in style, it's lucious and bright with juice citrus flavours of mandarin and lemonade. A chalky, grippy mouth-feel adding texture to the refreshingly tangy and bitter finish. Like a good gin and tonic (but at a very moderate 11% alcohol).
51% of the fruit from our organic vineyard Om Santi, with the balance split between Pinnacles and Clouston Vineyards.
The grapes are gently pressed with 10% taken straight to barrel. The balance cold settled over- night and then racked to stainless tank. The ferment in barrel is carried out by vineyard yeast with 13.5g/L of residual sugar in the tank portion. The wine is aged for a further 2 months on lees before bottling.
Food Pairing: A great aperitif to whet the appetite before a meal, it will also pair well with Japanese and Vietnamese cuisine. Enjoy now to 2030.
