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.

Appearance

Deep straw and gold which defies its age, with and an ultra-fine and persistent bead.

Bouquet

Lifted aromas of honey and freshly baked pastry, exotic spice and nuances of oyster shell.

Palate

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.

Vineyard Provenance

Tasmania; Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley and the East Coast.
