A pristine tapestry of the best parcels of fruit from Tasmania’s cool climate regions. Exceptional time in tirage coupled with minimal intervention at dosage results in a rare level of sophistication in Australian winemaking.
Tasting Notes
Deep straw and gold which defies its age, and an ultra-fine and persistent bead. Lifted aromas of honey and freshly baked pastry, exotic spice and nuances of oyster shell. A seamless and rich palate expressing characters of malted barley, field mushroom, sourdough and lemon curd. This wine has intense minerality, coupling savoury umami notes with a great acid line and persistence of flavour. It has fantastic tension and poise, utilising the extra low dosage to create perfect balance with the fine tannins and natural acidity.
