Ticks the varietal box and more, with honeysuckle, pear juice and fresh nashi pear, sprinkled with ginger spice and cinnamon. The palate has texture and the right amount of soft acidity to keep this fresh and buoyant. Good drinking here.

The fruit for this wine is sourced from a neighbouring vineyard in Balnarring. The fruit was whole bunch pressed and fermentation commenced spontaneously with ambient yeasts in entirely old French oak barriques. Once dry, the wine was left sur lie for several months prior to bottling. The wine was bottled without fining and with minimal filtration.
The lively bouquet delivers an interesting mix of aromas of pink lady apples and spicier notes of musk and Turkish delight. The palate shows flavours of fresh white pear and apple juice that combine with a layered and textural mid-palate that is underpinned by spicy phenolics
