The fruit for this wine was harvested from the Taylor family estate in the Clare Valley in the cool of the night and delivered direct to the winery to ensure the delicate flavours were retained. The grapes were quickly chilled and then whole berry pressed. After a short settling period, the majority of the juice was filled to French oak barrels for fermentation (10% new; 20% 1 year and the remainder 2 & 3 year old). A small parcel of the juice was fermented in stainless steel. All parcels were lees stirred for 4 months post fermentation. The wine was then blended, stabilised and fined in stainless steel prior to being bottled in October 2016.
Colour At release, the wine is a pale straw with a slight green hue to the edge.
NoseDelightful aromas of white peach, nectarines, tropical fruit and citrus zest with a hint of cashew.

This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will reward careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2021.
This offers a generously textured, mouth-filling stream of crisp, refreshing flavour from twist top to final drop of the lengthy finish and aftertaste. Aromas of tropical fruit, ginger and nutmeg abound. They precede a medium-full bodied, tapestry of palate-bathing flavour—white nectarine, apple pie spice, nutty notes and gorgeous lemony tang. It’s well balanced, well priced and well … delicious. Long story short—pick up a few.
