Other Reviews....
The personal project of Oakridge winemaker David Bicknell with his partner Nicky Harris. Whole-bunch pressed directly to two 500L puncheons and a barrique for fermentation; blended in tank prior to bottling. A bright green gold, this opens with green apple, lemon curd, some Japanese pickled ginger and a touch of freshly picked spearmint, while the fresh, nicely complex and compact, finely tuned palate finishes gently vanillin and long. Drink by 2026.
