Alea ... the pretty, sweet thing in the family. Behind the incredibly attractive facade lies a complex, layered and wonderful wine that consists of exotic spice, citrus fruits and saline acidity, all shaped by fine, chalky structure. This '21 iteration is a precise and restrained version of itself, showing length, elegance and most importantly, supreme deliciousness

OFF-DRY
This is the tenth release of this distinctly different expression of the variety, inspired by traditional European winemaking.
Delicate floral perfumes, lemon blossom, juicy lemon pith, a pure expression of the variety that balances intense limey notes with plush lemony flavours and impeccable layering. With the vineyard now fully mature this vintage completes the refinement of the ‘Alea’ style: a very engaging and beautiful wine.
