The J.L. Wolf estate was founded in 1756 and became a very successful and highly regarded winery up until the late 20th century when the quality of the wines seemed to fall away. It wasn’t until Ernst Loosen, of the famed Dr. Loosen Estate, took over the vineyards in 1996, launching a dramatic turnaround in the estate’s quality and reputation.
Pale straw colour with greenish edges and pale straw hue. Subtle aromas of ripe pear and musk followed by a hint of lychee. The palate displays good weight and texture with slightly higher acidity than most Australian and New Zealand examples providing the wine with good backbone. Mouthfilling flavours of ripe pear, lychee and apple followed by some citrus on the back palate. Clean crisp dry finish with aftertaste of ripe pear, apple and again a hint of lychee.
Drink now or cellar a further 1-2 years (2010-2012)
