Description

Now know as the Grace Madeline Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. Grace Madeline is the name of Diana Madeline’s mother, who was born in London in 1895 and died in Tasmania in 1963. She was an inspirational suffragette and nature photographer. This wine is made from 100% Cullen Vineyard sauvignon blanc and semillon vines planted in 1976-1988. The vines are planted on their own roots and are certified biodynamic and carbon neutral.

The fruit is low yielding and comes from 7 different blocks of sauvignon blanc grown on lyre and Scott Henry trellising. The grapes were harvested on mainly fruit and one flower day with some skin contact to give phenolic tension. A portion has been fermented in the concrete egg, with 74% of the sauvignon blanc aged in biodynamic barrels for 6 months.

Tasting Profile

Nose
Light straw color with green glints. Oak aging imparts a rich, buttery vanilla and spice frame for the fleshy tropical fruit and citrus aromas.
Palate
There’s a solid acid backbone evident in the mouth, a persistent thread of minerality, and a white peach flavor. An ageworthy white that may surprise in a decade.
