Colour At release, the wine has a vibrant straw colour with a subtle green tinge to the edge.
Nose There are fresh citrus and stone fruit aromas with hints of tropical fruit. A subtle flinty, gun smoke character combines well with sweet spice and savoury oak from the oak maturation.
Palate This is a wine with great delicacy showcasing white stone-fruit flavours along with attractive subtle brioche character. The barrel fermentation brings a delightful creaminess to the mid-palate. Overall, the wine is beautifully balanced with well integrated oak acting in support of the fruit and the tight acidity ensuring freshness. The length is superb and the wine finishes with enjoyable persistence.
Oak Maturation French oak was employed for its ability to deliver subtle savoury nut characters and a degree of elegance and length to the palate. After a short period maturing in oak, the wine was blended, filtered and bottled.
Cellaring Notes Crafted for immediate enjoyment but will cellar over a short term under ideal conditions.
