Australia / Western Australia
Andy's Tasting Notes
A very well priced example from premium Margaret River vineyards. What I find impressive in this wine is its fine, elegant and understated style, yet it has lovely depth and length. The oak is totally integrated and used in a manner that adds a sheen and glossy richness whilst maintaining the wines delicious freshness and vitality.
Winemaking notes – Traditional white wine fermentation. Malolactic fermentation was avoided on purpose, in order to retain the wine’s long fine acidity. The wine was matured in French oak barriques (20% new).
