Sourced entirely from the Pokolbin Hills vineyard. The fruit was left on the vine for about ten days longer than usual to create a slightly riper style and then hand harvested in the cool early hours of the morning. Fermented for six days and then left on its yeast lees for two months to gain extra layered complexity and mouth feel into the wine.
Appealing straw and green colours. Classic varietal Semillon aromatics; bright ripe fruit and a gentle waxy and citrus lift. Picking this vineyard slightly later lends to a generosity and depth of flavour. The combination of natural gentle acid, alcohol and yeast complexity gives the palate a richness, softness and generosity. Given the pedigree of this single vineyard, and the great 2017 vintage, this wine will cellar for many years to come but will be best drinking immediately.
