Textural & Layered
It’s a deliciously textural wine that offers depth and weight on the palate thanks to barrel fermentation and lees stirring. Grown in the red basalt soils situated in these cooler parts of South Gippsland provide the wine with layers of complexity and flavour.
Tasting Note:
‘Bright lemon/straw colour, sea spray/oyster-shell, pear & quince. A textural wine with beeswax, white nougat and a flinty mineral backbone. Poised and balanced drive on the finish.
