Light

Screwcap

White

Australia

Medium-bodied, with bright, citrussy acidity. Good intensity of flavour, still very much in the house style – lean and bone dry. Slight hint of toast coming through the smoky lime skin and grapefruit. Much lighter and more athletic than a Northern Rhône example, a very different expression: stylistically it's a cross between Crozes-Hermitage and Hunter Valley Semillon. Has more flinty depths than the winery's standard Marsanne. Feels like this is only starting to come into its own now, with a long life ahead.
