Adelaide Hills, South Australia.
Vinification
Long cool ferments in stainless steel, with aromatic yeasts. No malolactic fermentation.
Nose
A nose of fragrant citrus blossom, with an exotic tropical melange of feijoa, lychee and guava fruit, amid hints of elderflower and dry grass.
Palate
Soft, smooth, fleshy palate laden with pineapple and passionfruit, veiled supported by a well balanced natural acidity that displays a spectrum of sherbetty tang through to flinty, more minerally notes. The mid palate has solid texture of crunchy green apple and fresh picked herbs with neat traces of creamy meringue like mouth feel and a waxy lemon element. The finish is long and bone dry leaving a hint of cleansing lime freshness on the palate.
Winemakers Comments
Our tonnage was well down this vintage with the low crops delivering fruit of generally low bunch weights. This fruit was laden with extremely prickly natural acidity. In order to ensure this wine did not become too linear or one dimensional we have completed a volume of wines on skins to flesh the palate out as well as lees stirring to add some mid palate complexity and texture. Finally a portion has also undergone barrel fermentation which has assisted the palate length whilst meshing the mid to back palate. This has delivered a wine with layers of mid palate mouthfeel, textural complexity, length and overall depth. Guaranteed to get your Mojo working!
