Corymbia is the deep-rooted, far-sighted vision of husband-and wife-team, Rob and Genevieve Mann. The Mann name is synonymous with Western Australias Swan Valley, where Robs pioneering grandfather Jack worked a remarkable 51 consecutive vintages for Houghton. Rob was just a boy when he joined his father - former Australian test cricketer Tony - in planting the vines on what is now the dry-grown, organically farmed Corymbia vineyard. Organically dry-grown fruit from vines planted more than 25 years ago on the Houghton loam soils of what was an old currant vineyard. The grapes were harvested by hand on 31st January 2018, 5th February 2018 and 6th February 2018, and then whole bunch-pressed prior to natural fermentation. A portion was matured in seasoned French oak barriques for four months prior to blending and bottling. The wine shows distinctive characters of beeswax, beurre bosc pear and oyster shell with a long, vibrant, saline finish.

Fruit for this wine was hand-selected from our single-site Yarra Valley vineyard. The wine was aged in both seasoned French barriques and state of the art stainless steel tanks for four months. Pale straw in colour, notes of green apple and citrus with hints of blossom. The palate is generous with firm acidity.

Planted on east facing slopes for optimal exposure to morning sunlight and Granitic soils resulting in highly concentrated fruit with excellent natural acidity. The concentration of thie wine is lifted by the mouth-watering acidity bringing balance and long length. Flavours of Green apple, apricot, peach, hints of honey and floral aromas characterise a fresh nose.

From a winery that spans back 330 years, this range has been created specifically to be enjoyed with food. On the palate there are flavours of green apples and melon unfolding into layers of citrus and minerality. This wine is crisp and clean and will better suit fresh salads and grilled seafood while it's young.

High altitude and the cooling breeze from the ocean facilitates slow ripening, leading to complexity and nuance in this wine. The vines from which the grapes are grown are low-yeilding old vines. This is a world class Chenin Blanc that beautifully displays white flowers, stone fruit, pear, orange blossom, honesy toast and caramel. It's an excellent balance between luscious fruit and crisp, mouth-watering acidity.
