Growing Conditions
A wet winter, with average rainfall during the four-month winter period, followed by a mild, dry spring, leading to excellent growth, good set and vigour; however, frosts caused damage in some vineyards. A mild, late Indian summer ended the cool season, ensuring excellent ripening conditions and accumulation of colour and flavour.
Nose
A lifted, spicy bouquet of white peach and wattle blossom with a touch of honey.
Palate
The long, well-balanced palate, although still crisp and delicate, presents delicious honey and marmalade characters accented with lime.
Appearance
Gold with green hues.
Aging
Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage (no oak or tank maturation) to preserve the wine’s fruit characteristics.
