White

Winemaker Cath Oates says that this wine is both ‘a tribute to the great white blend of Margaret River and also in memory of the incredible support I received from the wine community following an unfortunate encounter with a white shark before vintage 2021.’ The inviting nose has just a touch of fragrant oak, adding a lovely creaminess and perfume, with lemon and lime drops, pear flesh, and spring grass crushed underfoot. There’s some nice waxiness on the palate, with lightly toasted, integrated oak. The texture is fine and detailed. Quenching salinity and green-olive brine, coriander stalk, lemongrass, glossy lemon pith and crushed minerality; it has great length, chewy phenolics and crunchy acid. The right kind of bite! This has it all. Yum. A blend of 66% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Semillon, 6% Chardonnay; half-fermented in tank then finished in barrel; left on lees for nine months; 10% malo and 10% new French oak.
