Fittingly, the fruit for this wine was sourced just a quick hop, skip and a stump jump from Australia’s first nude beach. The wine itself is uninhibited. Fully exposed in youth, exhibiting candied lime and cumquot characters on the nose partnered by delightfully pretty frangipani notes. The analogy with the beach continues as we are initially hit with a wave of sea spray flavour, complemented beautifully by more citrus fruits and a mouthwatering sherbert like finish. The attack is sumptuous but quickly tightens up as the lively acidity balances out the sweetness, leading into a long, lingering finish. Release your inhibitions with this raw exhibition of McLaren Vale Riesling, the way it was intended.

The fruit for this wine was sourced from the most southerly of the Harewood vineyards. The moderating effect of its maritime climate produces a wine which combines the cool climate limey vibrancy of Porongurup riesling with hints of richer tropical fruits more typical of a slightly warmer climate like Mount Barker.

Grapes are harvested in the coolest part of the night (pre dawn), the free run juice separated from its skins within minutes of picking resulting in a wine with impressive delicacy and subtlety.
