From The Winemaker

Medium gold, stone fruit and citrus blossom. The oak treatment has given it roasted and toasty characters. White peach and citrus with a hint of brioche, good weight and mouthfeel. An elegant wine. Vegan Friendly.

Growing Conditions

Good winter rains set a positive start to the growing season with ample soil moisture and no frost events. The cooler conditions delayed vine growth and flowering was later than average. Fruit set was influenced by the cooler season and some varieties yielded below average. The cool & mild conditions continued throughout and subsequently delayed harvest giving the fruit ample time to develop delicate flavours.
