Tasting Notes

Appearance:
Pale lemon with green flashes — bright, clear and youthful.

Aroma:
Lifted aromatics of lemon zest, white pear and green apple, supported by crushed herbs, jasmine, wet stone and a hint of sea spray.
Fragrant, pure and instantly appealing.

Palate:
Fresh, clean and wonderfully textural — a brilliant example of modern Australian Grenache Blanc.
Expect flavours of:

• citrus and grapefruit pith

• pear skin and white nectarine

• saline minerality

• subtle herbal lift

The acidity is brisk and refreshing, giving the wine drive, shape and fantastic drinkability.

Finish:
Crisp, dry and mineral with lingering citrus and gentle savoury notes.
Utterly refreshing.
