Soils: This vineyard is on deep sandy soils that were once sand dunes, likely from Maslin Sands and Pirramimma Sandstone. The deep sand is over yellow clay, which allows vine roots to travel down deep looking for water. These soils are from the Holocene period (11,700 years old).
Harvest Date: 19 February 2024
Winemaking: After harvesting at night the grapes were quickly pressed off skins at the winery. Fermentation in both stainless steel tanks and new and seasoned French oak hogheads. 100% barrel maturation for 5 months on light lees with regular lees stirring for complexity. Partial malo-lactic fermentation. Barrel select blending before clarification and bottling.
Nose: The nose offers aromas of lemon rind, lychee and white pear blossoms with toasty almond notes to finish.
Palate: The palate is lively with zesty notes of lime, green apple, green mango and a well-rounded mouthfeel from time spent in oak.
Cellaring: Drink now to 2028

"Beautifully styled and elegantly expressed, the inviting bouquet shows apricot, lemon peel, nougat and oatmeal characters, leading to a finely textured palate offering creamy mouthfeel, backed be finely pitched acidity, finishing refined and persistent."
