The 2016 vintage began with below-average winter rainfall, followed by a warm and
dry spring, which enhanced flowering and set to provide average to above-average yield potential. Low disease pressure was maintained by one of the hottest Decembers on record, though temperatures cooled down in the New Year and rainfall around veraison in late January/early February brought relief to our early-ripening varieties in the Adelaide Hills, resulting in excellent conditions for natural acid retention and clean fruit. This was followed by further rainfall in early March, which eased the stress on the late-ripening varieties, allowing them to mature towards a predicted earlier harvest due to an early Easter. Open, light and airy vine canopies allowed for good flavour, sugar, colour and mature tannins to develop at harvest, which was overall characterised by average yields but very high quality.

Fragrant citrus blossom, passionfruit, guava and white currant with herbaceous notes of blackcurrant leaf, dried tarragon, and highlights of
tropical fruits and gooseberry.

A delicate, fine and pure palate with delicious flavours of white and black currants, guava and dried herbs; crisp acidity and wet pebble minerality lead to a long, clean finish with a hint of lemongrass.

Pale straw with lime green hues.

Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage (no oak or tank maturation) to preserve the wine's aromatic fruit characters.
