Description
- Dry style
- Grapefrruit
- Mandarin
- Juicy & fresh
"An excellent bouquet and palate with scents and flavours of citrus and nettles, fresh sage and grapefruit, apple and a layer of green passionfruit fresh lychee nut. Crisp and dry with plenty of mouthfeel, saline qualities and freshness. Some time on lees adds to the texture and length. Delicious, fresh, balanced and well made. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2029" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Dec 2024
Pale straw. Pure and bright perfume with an array of citrus covering grapefruit, lemon, lime and mandarin. Subtle gravelly tones help to weave another layer of complexity around the fruit. Juicy and fresh upfront, the riper fruit spectrum of stone fruit opens and offers an intense generosity of flavour. It follows through the mid-palate with a refreshing and quenching finish of crystalline acidity. Drinks beautifully now or can comfortably be cellared for five years or more.
A typical start to the season with a moderately dry, mild winter and spring, with budburst underway in the first week of October, and only a few minor frost events occurring after that. Flowering occurred in early to mid-December during a period of changeable conditions which managed to temper yields. December settled into dry warm weather creating exceptional growing conditions into late autumn. The absence of rain with only 32mm falling over summer, broke the drought record which has stood for the last 94 years. Idyllic high sunshine hours, and classic cool overnight temperatures in Autumn ensured acidity levels were preserved and the fruit retained freshness. A vintage to remember.
