Margaret River

Medium

Screwcap/Stelvin

White

Fresh, layered, crystalline fruit aromas of salty preserved lemon, grapefruit pith and lots of white blossom. Puckering on the palate with a mouth-watering saltbush crunch, you can’t help but be drawn back for seconds. It's savoury with a capital S. Loose-knit textural phenolics (wild fermented in French oak), piercing but also quivering acidity and a long, lithe length of concentrated fruit. This might not be the most regal of Chenin Blancs, but it’s exciting, lively and unashamed in expressing its sense of place from one of the most coastal vineyards in Margaret River. If there is such thing as an oceanic wine, this is it: an Australian teenage summer in a glass.
