The cool clean fermentation has helped preserve the wine's wonderfully fresh aromatics. The nose of gooseberries and lemon zest is matched perfectly on the palate by characters of fresh lime juice and a vibrant/zippy acid finish. This wine is the perfect accompaniment to fresh fish on the barbie or simply enjoyed by itself as a pre-dinner drink.

This wine exhibits all that we want in a cool climate version; a good mid palate weight and structure, vibrant colour and those most desirable of attributes: spice, pepper and liquorice. This wine has all in abundance.

This wine only ever aspires to offer good honest value for money and as such is not tricked up with the use of oak or heavy handed malolactic. The vibrant Alpine fruit is allowed to shine through giving hints of fresh white peach and melon on the nose and palate.

Aged in a mixture of one, two and three year old barrels this style is intentionally made for early enjoyment with fresh fruit and low tannins but still relatively lively acidity.
