Place

Sourced from vineyards in the famed sub-region of Watervale, Clare Valley.

Vintage Conditions

An ideal ripening season was well welcomed after consecutive dry years prior. This saw the vines well balanced with canopy and an even spread of bunches. However, still recovering from the previous years, the bunches and berries were smaller than average. This concentration produced free run juice of exception flavour with bright natural acidity shining through.

Winemaking

By arresting the ferment just before complete dryness provides the palate with just a hint of additional texture and roundness nicely balanced by naturally retained, crisp acidity.

  • Appearance

    Pale straw in colour with a brilliant clarity and translucence.

  • Nose

    Citrus notes, lifted lemon curd, hints of guava and delicately positioned florals the driving force on the nose.

  • Palate

    A typical Watervale palate of fresh limes, citrus rind and
    a core of crisp natural acidity running its full length, further
    enhance the wines complexity and cellaring potential.
