Winemaking Details:
The grapes were harvested from mid March to late April 2009.
Most of the grapes harvested were crushed and left in contact with
the skins for a few hours to increase the extraction process and to
provide strength and fullness of flavour. The remainder was gently
bag pressed off to achieve fresh, clear, elegant juice. The juice was
then fermented slowly at cool temperatures to retain the very
distinctive regional and varietal characters:
Oak Regime
Aroma and Palate:
The wine is pale straw in colour with green highlights. Aromas of
ripe, red capsicum and gooseberry dominate with tropical
pineapple and grapefruit notes apparent. This wine displays full
fruit intensity. The ripe capsicum and gooseberry flavours with
hints of pungency sit well with the supporting tropical fruit
flavours. A well-balanced wine showing the lively, crisp acidity
associated with this style.
Cellaring and Food Matching:
This wine can be matched with grilled oysters, barbecued prawns
or salmon, and poached white fish with fresh green salads
containing parsley, pepper or lemon. Mediterranean and Turkish
dishes with hummus, olives and feta will also match well.
Though made to drink while young and vivacious, this wine may
be cellared for up to three years to develop further complexity
