Palate

The palate is red fruit driven with generous flavours and texture. The three varieties combine to give a seamless palate of sophistication and poise. Secondary flavours of field mushroom and brioche overlay the fruit further building complexity and persistence. A firm natural acidity provides a backbone for the longevity and vibrancy of this wine.

Vintage

94% of this blend is from 2015 vintage with was a temperate and dry year with excellent fruit yield. Berry size was near perfect and the fruit retained high natural acidity that required additional hang time to moderate. The white wines from this vintage exhibit beautiful structure and poise with the classic characteristics of a cool and balanced season right through to harvest.
