Even though the summer was hot and dry the grape ripening was taking a little longer as the vines had a great crop matched with a perfectly balanced canopy, but by mid-February the harvest had begun. Chardonnay, closely followed by Sauvignon Blanc came in first with sensational flavours and perfect physiological characteristics. The weather was a blessing with not a drop of rain in sight allowing for the Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc to fully ripen to optimum flavour profiles and with an intense start the whites were in by the middle of March.
Seafood with lemon or butter sauce, or creamy pasta dishes with herbs.
Vibrant pale lemon with green hues. Aromas of thistle, gooseberry, tropical fruits, and white blossom.
Flavours of thistle, gooseberry, tropical fruits, and white blossom combine with the use of slightly smoky French oak and regular batonage to provide a lovely depth of flavour, and creamy texture accentuated on the long-lasting finish.
