Very appealing colour of bright pale yellow and green tints. A much lower alcohol due to the year and as a result more of the citrus/grassy character than tropical fruit. The Hunter Semillon adds a lemongrass note with some Bickford lime cordial aromas and flavours as well. Part of the blend is fermented in oak and this tends to round out the herbaceous edge that Sauvignon Blanc can sometimes get. A very good acid line and this adds to a loveliness on the finish. Definitely a wine to chill and enjoy in the short term.

The nose is wonderfully aromatic with vibrant tropical fruit, barley sugar and a hint of guava. The palate is equally fresh and lively with zesty citrus characters of lemon, lime and a touch of orange. The Mar-sanne and Roussanne play a bigger role here with lovely stone fruit and honey characters coming through.

The pretty nose has many subtle nuances with notes of flowers, pine needle, snow pea, preserved lemon and cooked apple. The palate has a medium weight with a linear citrus acidity and a long finish. More exotic Characters are present with elements of dried paw paw, honeydew melon, ginger and nectarine with a savoury edge of pistachio and pine nut. This is a complex and unique wine that provide immense interest as both a young and a mature wine. A versatile food wine it will pair well with a range of dishes from grilled snapper to a chicken, pumpkin and pine nut risotto.

Classic fruit and spice aromas of gently poached citrus, blackcurrant, custard apple, gooseberry, quince, vanilla pod and lemon verbena give a familiar entree to this fresh and vibrant wine. The palate’s rich core of these many fruits and spices is enriched with a lemon curd creaminess that textures the palate. A lively, yet soft lime zest and chalk like acidity gives a bright, clean finish.
