The highest quality cool climate fruit is sourced from Tasmania, Yarra Valley and Tumbarumba to produce this legendary wine of richness, power and elegance. An intense aromatic concentration of ripe lemon and stone fruit preempts palate flavours of mandarin and a touch of orange. The finish holds hints of toasty oak and savory characters with a juicy, refreshing finish.
Winemakers notes:
Deep yellow in colour with green hue. Intense aroma of white nectarine and peach. Secondary notes of toasty oak with a hint of lemon will feature in the wine while young. Wild fermentation yields a flinty mineral character.
A rich palate with opulent fruit underpinned by mineral acidity. Stone fruit and citrus flavours interplay on the palate with deft creaminess and structured oak influence. A highly complex wine with wonderful flavour.
98 points - James Halliday
From Tasmania, the Yarra Valley and Tumbarumba. Gleaming straw-green; manages to effortlessly combine power and intensity with elegance and glorious varietal fruit expression. White stone fruit is at the very heart of a palate that aspires to perfection. Quality French oak and minerally acidity play their parts, albeit largely forgotten in the wealth of fruit.
