A top dry white from Margaret River.

Bright pale straw colour with green hue. Grassy, herbaceous top notes. The palate has good weight with flavours of tropical fruit, followed by spice and citrus over a light grassy background. Clean acid finish with aftertaste of tropical fruit over a herbaceous background.

Other Reviews...
Very sophisticated and skilled winemaking with barrel fermentation and maturation in (old?) barriques adds more to the texture than to flavour; excellent mouthfeel; gently ripe herb and lemon flavours.
