Typically it shows a pink grapefruit character, concentration and mid-palate texture, which reflect the carefully selected sites and hand harvesting during the small window of perfect ripeness. The 2019 has intensity of flavour and is particularly bright, fresh, and balanced.
Hand picked. Cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturation on lees. Early bottling to retain freshness.
95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion
"Light straw-quartz hue. Not the easiest of vintages, but you'd never know it given the intensity, the resonance and length of this vibrant, juicy wine. The 30th vintage, and I buy the back label comment 'the wine is better now than at any time in our 30 years."
93 Points - Huon Hooke The Real Review
"Pale colour, almost water-white, with a very lifted, fresh, powerful aroma of tropical fruits - very clean and vital. The wine is the same in the mouth: intense and fresh, zesty and alive, with lemon and lime citrus notes over passionfruit and other tropical touches. Intense and and refreshing to drink. A very smart Aussie sauvignon blanc"
