    VITAL STATISTICS

    Wine details

    • At release, the wine is a pale straw with a slight green hue to the edge.

      Delightful aromas of white peach, nectarines, tropical fruit and citrus zest with a hint of cashew.

    • 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.

    • Clare Valley

      • Acid: 5.85
      • Alc %: 13.2
      • PH: 3.20
      • Residual Sugar: 2.30

    • This wine can be enjoyed upon release but will reward careful cellaring up to and possibly beyond 2021.
