Grapes sourced from the Wrekin Vineyard in the Brancott Valley. No herbicides, pesticides or systemic  fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro).     Winemaking    Hand-picked, fermented using a combination of “wild” and cultured yeasts. Matured on fine lees for 12-14 months in 600L French oak barrels, with a portion in stainless steel to preserve freshness. A further three months elevage in stainless steel to integrate before bottling. 

Winemaker’s comments    An open and expressive nose of ripe apple fruit, white florals and a touch of almond flour. The palate is rounded and mouth filling, with bright, lively acidity adding freshness to the notes of conference pear,  apricot and preserved lemon. While there is a touch of something almost-honeyed, the ultimate impression is of warm, ripe fruit and sherbet lemon brightness.     Food match    This wine will pair well with a range of different dishes, due to the balance of ripe – almost rich – fruit, and lively acidity. We would recommend pairing it with flavourful and rich dishes, such as the creamy coconut and seafood of Kokoda, or a comforting tartiflette.
