Product Description

Colour: Medium straw with a slight green and yellow hues
Nose: White peach, lemon curd with a waxy cashew nut note. Buttery complexity and some funky aromatics from the winemaking techniques. Should develop a flinty note with cellaring.
Palate: Clean, crisp acid with stone fruit and lemon zest/pith/curd. Some light phenolic lift from the oak adds interest and appeal. Needs a little time to meld together.
Potential: Drink now but short term cellaring (to 3-5 years) will add further complexity and varietal definition.
Foods: Blue Swimmer crab linguine.
Technical: Bottled February, 2019 under screw cap, Alcohol 12.8%, pH 3.46, TA 5.6
Vintage: 2019 was warmer vintage with a cool finish still displaying the cooler maritime influence.
