Tasting Notes

The juicy nectarine and preserved lemons are balanced by generous layers of texture, a touch of spice and crisp mineral finish.

Colour

Bright pale straw.

Aroma

White nectarine, spring blossom and a hint of toasted almonds.

Palate

Layers of fruit and texture with citrus and nectarine notes. Delicate peppery phenolics and minerality create a refreshing finish and balance.

Food Match

Thai beef salad with lime zest, fresh crusty bread dipped in olive oil and balsamic vinegar or goats cheese and semi-sundried tomatoes on toasted sour dough.

Winemaker Notes

The fruit was harvested over the period of a week to give a range of varietal characters. Individual batches were cool fermented in a combination of stainless steel with a range of yeast strains as well as a wild ferment component in old oak barrel to add spice and interest. Components were assessed at the end of fermentation to create an optimum blend of fruit characteristics and wine layers.
