WINESTATE MAGAZINE AWARDED THIS WINE FOUR STARS Best of Western Australia Tasting May/June 2010

Drinks Trade Magazine Reviewed February/March 2010 Rob Geddes MW A complex nose, with good lift and a long flavour. Good passionfruit and minerality notes. A touch of sugar with a good length. Notes of pear, apple, oak and liquorice. Well-balanced acid.

NOSE
Lifted and intense, the nose reveals citrus with nettles, gooseberries and lychees, with a hint of cut grass.

PALATE
The delicate fruit flavours of passionfruit and lychees are weighted beautifully with nice citrus acid. Bright, fresh, zesty and vibrant, but very elegant with great structure and mid palate fruit weight. A lovely wine with intense sweet fruit, showing balance and good length on the palate.

FOOD
The perfect wine for risotto with chorizo, goats’ cheese and peas.

CELLARING
This style is intended to be enjoyed without delay to maximise its freshness, so less than 2 years bottle aging is suggested. Stored under a screw cap this wine will deliver the vibrancy that is the south of Margaret River.

VINTAGE NOTES
The fruit was picked at night at 11.5 Baume to retain freshness and after crushing was skin contacted for 6 hrs at 10 degrees C before fermentation in stainless steel. This wine was bottled as soon as practical after fermentation and stored under screw cap to capture and retain freshness. - Travis Clydesdale (Consultant Winemaker)
