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:
'You just need to appreciate the gentle detail in this wine. It’s delicate, it’s pretty. It’s sleek, slender and slippery with notes of almond blossoms, white peach and pink grapefruit’s gracing tones of fruity meets bitter. Beautiful detail in the flavour spectrum, and just as the label, it’s painted in pastel, with juicy acidity and wet chalk texture, and a mid-palate lime curd note. Delicious.' 94 Points Kasia Sobiesiak - The Wine Front
‘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. Justin & Lisa Jenkins
