Lychee, lemons and gooseberries with subtle tones of creamy French oak and brioche, a mineral finish of lime zest and dried thyme.
From $32.00 per bottle
Description
Tasting Notes: Light green in colour with mother of pearl streaks. A bouquet of lychee, preserved lemons, gooseberries, hints of currants and curry leaf. Lively acidity and white fruit textures drive the palate, given gentle substance by bolder fruits and subtle tones of creamy French oak and brioche. A mineral finish coated in lime zest and dried thyme. Drink now for freshness or be rewarded with cellaring.
Winemaking notes: Sauvignon Blanc fruit was harvested in the early hours of the morning and immediately cold crushed to press, where the juice was separated from the skin. The juice was cold settled for 2-3 days before being racked and fermented in stainless steel and new French oak barrels (20%). The oaked portion was combined with the portion in stainless steel after fermentation, where the wine was matured on the fine lees with bâttonage occurring fortnightly for 5 months. The wine received a light fining prior to filtration and was then bottled with all-natural acidity.

Ray Jordan, West Australian Wine Review 2026
"It's fair to say that sometimes sauvignon blancs can be consumed just a little early, and in good seasons like 2023, when the fruit has balance with lovely pure, pristine acidity and all the fruits you want, a little extra time in the bottle will improve it immeasurably. In this case, it has done just that. On the nose, there’s passionfruit and stone fruit with some nice citrus and a subtle grassy edge, while the palate is really where this wine comes into its own. It's layered and complex, and the use of just a small amount of French oak has brought it to life, adding both texture and complexity while not overdoing it. This is an excellent wine.”

Huon Hooke, The Real Review
"Very pale, almost water white appearance; the bouquet is reserved and shy, with a lack of varietal fruit but instead a green/straw, raw almond and faintly petroleum-like aroma. In the mouth it’s delicate, restrained and dry, with appetizing crispness and aridity, and while very reserved it does have intense flavour, focused and precise, appetizing at the finish. Stylish wine. Later, after extended time in the glass, a transformation: the wine developed richness and complexity, some barrel derived notes alongside passionfruit varietal fruit, with serious appeal. A stand out.!”
