Tasting 
A crisp, tangy white wine with enticing floral bouquet, hints of elderflower, gooseberry and blackcurrant leaf. The palate is youthful, pithy and bright with mouthwatering gooseberry and grapefruit leading through to a long, refreshing finish.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

'Bright and fresh, this is attractively fragrant on the nose showing Granny Smith apple, nectarine, sweet basil and lime peel aromas. The palate displays excellent fruit vibrancy and intensity, backed by juicy acidity, making it mouth-watering and immediately enjoyable. At its best: now to 2024.'

'Fresh and vibrant, the inviting bouquet shows green rockmelon, lemon zest, apple and sweet basil aromas. The palate delivers juicy fruit intensity and lively mouthfeel, beautifully supported by lovely fruit purity and crisp acidity, finishing long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2022.'

Nick Butler, The Real Review

'Green mangos and rockmelon, ripe and unripe characters meld on the nose. Limes and dried herbs lead the palate.'

Viticulture
Fruit was sourced from one vineyard in the Lobethal district of the Adelaide Hills. A beautifully tended vineyard on steep, undulating territory. Moderate yields and good fruit exposure ensure high quality fruit.
Winemaking
Once picked, the fruit was immediately processed at the winery, benefitting from low overnight temperatures. Crushed and pressed then settled for an extended period prior to a long, cool fermentation to maximise fruit expression.
