White from Adelaide Hills, Australia
SKU: 201921-AU01002
Alcohol Volume: 13%
Colour: Very pale gold with lime green hues Nose: Restrained upon first pour. Induce awakening via a sprightly decant, or vigorous swirl. Primary white peach and assorted stone fruits give way to tempting scents of fresh crème anglaise/pana cotta. Oak (just) evident, yet impressively integrated (80% new?!) Wafts of struck-match prancing above; intense, smoky barrel-ferment notes lurking below. Complexingly challenging – an abundance of character, yet not saturated; aromatically bedazzling, yet not an assault. Palate: The acidity noted above is not a defining feature – more of a softer/gentler acidity playing a supporting role – complimentary to texture. An expansive palate that grows – propelled by persistent flavours and textural integrity. Peak Drinking: Now - 2030
