Nose

Restrained, yet expressive, with lemon pith and lime, white florals and underlying mineral and nougat notes. Seamless oak is beautifully integrated adding complexity and spice.

Flavours and Palate

Vibrant and pure with lemon pith and lime, white florals and a subtle mineral thread. Layered and complex with nuances of nougat and oak, finishing with fine chalky phenolics and crystalline acidity.

Yarra Valley, Victoria

Cooler than Bordeaux yet warmer than Burgundy, picturesque Yarra Valley is one of Australia's foremost cool-climate wine regions. An easy one-hour’s drive from Melbourne, the area is home to more than 80 cellar doors. In addition to the huge range of wineries, the area boasts superb contemporary restaurants, authentic rustic farms - and luxury overnight accommodation if the sightseeing gets too much! The fertile Yarra Valley soils produce famously elegant and textured Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Vintage Conditions

A relatively warm start to the growing season with high rainfall, but generally fine conditions during flowering. An unseasonally wet January ensued easing to fine, warm and dry conditions resulting in an early and relatively compressed harvest period. Acid retention was high particularly across the white varieties.
