Crafted with fine food in mind, nature has played a big part in contributing to the flavour profile of this crisp and aromatic, decidedly fruit driven wine. Sourced from good growers operating superior vineyards, the focus being to create a Sauvignon Blanc of excellent varietal definition, a lingering palate and lovely clean finish. Minimally handled to retain the vibrancy of fruit character, cooler ripening sites contribute an intensity of flavour. The addition of parcels from earlier ripening blocks imparts balance and length to the finished wine.
The remarkable winegrowing mesoclimes of Victoria's high country are heaven sent for Sauvignon Blanc. It is from these undulating slopes that pioneers produced their first vintages, examples of which found their way to the far reaches of the Empire. Wildly fluctuating terroirs and higher elevations are the key to the finesse and complexity. A maze of valleys and sub-valleys offer slopes of every aspect, there is as much variation here as one can find anywhere. The soils are innately suited to viticulture, such an endowment of choice winegrowing terrain produces some of the most agreeable white wines in Australia, fresh and fragrant, crisp and food friendly with sound structure and crisp fruit characters.
TASTING NOTES
Pale straw in colour with fresh green hues. Lifted aromas of lemongrass and vegetal are complexed by luscious perfumes of gooseberry. Well integrated flavours and great intensity, a palate of intense greenery and crisp nashi are accompanied by the cool climate tang of crabapple acid. Minerality and ripe fruit persist, lemongrass develops along the length of palate, soft and food friendly from start to finish, as it closes toward a clean, refreshing finish. Drinking brilliantly upon release, perfect with creamy chicken dishes, contemporary styles of pasta and the freshest seafood.
