86/14% semillon/sauvignon blanc from Karridale. Matured in French oak for 3 months. Juniper, jalapeno, lime cordial, green apples and green table grapes. Bright and lithe and endowed with a slippery texture in the mouth, no doubt aided by the short time spent in oak. Balanced and supple – a joyous wine of poise and grace.

Pedestal is so named due to the elevation of the Margaret River vineyard we initially sourced fruit from to create these wines. It is with our Pedestal range, now encompassing a number of vineyards from north to south, that we seek to uncover and express sub-regionality in this part of the world. In general terms, Northern Margaret River is better suited to red wines with its slightly warmer Indian Ocean influence whereas southern Margaret River is better suited to whites due to the cooling influence of the Southern Ocean breeze.
Passionfruit, lime zest and cut grass with a lively acidity and long finish.
