2025 Sentio Aligote

A shapely yet refreshing dry white with an energised saline edged finish.

Brilliant pale straw colour with a subtle greenish tinge around the edges and a watery hue. Expressive yet elegant aromas of pear, red apple skin and white peach emerge with some wet stone and gun flint notes also evident. Pear, white peach and green apple fruits line the shapely yet refreshing palate with notions of wet stone and mineral the undercard. Brisk energised acidity with a saline edged finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 12.5%

Other Reviews…..
Fruit sourced from Darling's Koombahla vineyard, Whitfield. Pressed, settled in tank, fermented on fluffy lees in small and large French oak and clay egg for six months. While aligotè has been called 'Burgundy's other white grape,' make no mistake, this King Valley charmer is fully deserving of the drinker's respect. Each vintage, it reveals greater concentration and complexity. With citrus, peach, stone fruits, hazelnut and baking spices, it comes with an elegance and restrained composure. Carries impressive drive and length, with a lick of almond nuttiness to close. Drink by 2032.
