Vintage | Lovely mild vintage for the Barossa allowing for flavours to slowly build with excellent acid retention to achieve its its electric styling. The old vine Trebbiano showcased small loose bunches of yellow nectar to produce another lovely textural table wine of character. |
Wine Making | Hand picked & crushed into small 500kg fermenters for 8 days skin then basket pressed to seasoned French oak for 8 months to build texture, weight and complexity. A lovely energetic & very complex dry styling with lifted stone fruits, citrus florals and grapefruit. Flavours of zesty lemon, nuts, grapefruit and stone fruits that persists to a savoury saline finish. Enjoy it with shell fish and white meats or embrace it just on its own. |
