Margaret River

Medium

Screwcap/Stelvin

White

An upfront struck match aroma nestled in delicate citrus, lemon bark, candied spice, white florals, nougat and a gentle yet apparent oak handling. On the palate, powerful fruit and a whoosh of bright, alarm-clock, Gingin clone acid. The palate is flush with lemon leaf, peach flesh, pithy citrus and green spice. This is still tightly held together, it’s got plenty to give as the grip relaxes but already there’s impressive length and much of the voice here is from the fruit. From vineyards about 15 minutes south of the Margaret River township, whole-bunch pressed, wild fermented in 38% new French oak and matured on lees for 10 months.
