Appearance

Light to medium straw with a green gold edge. A very fine and persistent bead.

Bouquet

Citrus aromas of grapefruit and lemon are accompanied by notes of oyster shell, roasted almond, fresh brioche, and a hint of earthiness.

Palate

A wine of great complexity, richness and tension. Characters of lemon curd, honeycomb, nougat, and crème brûlée result in ideal mid-palate volume which is balanced by fine persistent effervescence and crisp acidity. A hint of salinity enhances the wine’s elegant structure while the low dosage heightens the mineral freshness.

Vineyard Provenance

Tasmania; Derwent Valley, East Coast, Coal River Valley, Pipers River and Tamar Valley.
