Sourced from the Brysky vineyards in Watervale, the 2021 vintage in Clare Valley was a mild one, allowing grapes to produce flavour ripeness prior to sugar ripeness. Production quality and yields were both high.
Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with a light tinge of green to the outskirts and a watery hue. Pronounced lemon and lime scents meld into orange rind, wet steel and flinty mineral notes. Flooding the palate with terrific intensity are mouth watering lime and lemon fruits which are accompanied by crunch granny smith apple, talc and flinty mineral characters. Outstanding drive finishing dry and crisp with a long aftertaste that has a zingy feel to it.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12.5%
