Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale straw with green highlights — bright, youthful and energetic.

Aroma:
A wonderfully lifted and complex nose showing:

• lemon zest & grapefruit

• green apple & white peach

• chamomile, white florals & almond meal

• subtle flint, crushed stone & sea spray

Aromatic precision meets gentle complexity.

Palate:
Textural, refined and perfectly balanced — a modern Australian white at its best.
Expect layers of:

• citrus (lemon, lime, grapefruit)

• crunchy orchard fruits

• subtle stone fruit

• savoury hints of almond, nougat & flint

• saline, mineral backbone

The blend of Chardonnay’s power, Pinot Blanc’s delicacy and Savagnin’s structure creates superb tension and flow.

Finish:
Long, refreshing and mineral with lingering citrus and chalky complexity.
