A beautifully textured and expressive cool-climate white wine that reflects the pristine alpine environment of Victoria’s High Country. Sourced from estate vineyards at the foothills of the Victorian Alps, this wine benefits from a long growing season, which allows the fruit to develop rich flavors while retaining natural acidity.
