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

Vintage Conditions

A dry cool autumn in 2021 lead into good winter rains.  Above average spring falls gave way to a very cool, dry summer and autumn 2022. These conditions slowed 
the ripening of the grapes, resulting in full flavours, good natural acidities, and lower Baume’s (sugar) than previous vintages. Overall conditions were the best they had been for many years, and a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional. A stunning vintage for drinkers and collectors alike. 

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

    Appearance

    Pale straw in colour with a brilliant clarity and translucence.

  • Nose

    Nose

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

  • Palate

    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.
