2020 estate autumn harvest
colour
Pale straw in colour with vivid green hues.
aroma
The wine exhibits lifted aromas of mandarin with underlying lime blossom.
palate
The palate is clean and lively with tremendous depth of ripe fruit-salad flavour and intensity. A refreshing backbone of natural grape acidity adds to the delicate crispness while providing structure and length.
cellaring
Enjoy now, lightly chilled.
winemaking
Selected parcels of fruit were allowed to ripen to on the vine for an extended period before harvest. The resultant wine displays a higher level of residual sugar and lower than normal levels of alcohol. The wine was fermented at cold temperatures utilising aromatic yeast to maximise expression of the fruit. Fermentation was arrested early to retain natural grape sugars and to prevent excessive alcohol production. The resultant wine was stabilised early and committed to bottle to capture maximum freshness.
