This wine has a rich mix of fig, melon and white peach flavours, which are further enhanced by French oak and barrel fermentation flavours. A backbone of lively acid supports the rich fruit and a complexity derived from barrel ferment and lees stirring. It has a lovely texture and mouthfeel.

The fruit for this wine was 100% organically grown at our Frogmore Creek Vineyard, located at Penna in South-eastern Tasmania.

Colour: Medium intensity, bright green-straw.

Bouquet: The fruit ripeness provides a mix of fig, melon and white peach flavours, which are further complexed by French oak and barrel fermentation flavours.

Palate: A backbone of lively acid supports the rich fruit and complexity derived from fermentation and maturation on yeast lees in barrel. The relatively high acidity results from the wine not having undergone malolactic fermentation, and provides elegance and food compatibility as well as ensuring long cellaring potential.

Ageing potential: Ten years.
