Fine and fruity with notes of white peach and passion fruit. On the palate well-balanced, full and velvety.

A unique and alluring wine showcasing peach, honey dew and lemon citrus aromatics. The wine has both body and a light feel with citrus fruit, light florals, fresh acidity and a fine mineral edginess. Soave wines are terrific with food whilst this example has both purity, weight and freshness to also be lovely on its own.

The vineyards that produced this appealing wine are situated near Controguerra, Abruzzo, at 250 metres altitude, inland from the Adriatic coast, halfway up the boot of Italy. The pecorino grape is not widely known in Australia. It is believed to be a native of the Marche region. The name may derive from the fact that the grapes were grown in hilly country, the same country that sheep were raised - pecora means "sheep" in Italian. Pecorino wine is easy going, with straw colouring, displaying distinct floral notes, minerality, field herbs, stonefruit and citrus. It is currently enjoying a surge of popularity in Italy and other parts of the world.

Brown lime cordial, frangipani, lemon drops, nectarine and elderflower. A complex and refreshing nose that follows on to the palate with typical toasty nuts, nougat, and citrus. Medium-bodied and textural with a mouthfeel that radiates from the centre of the palate and clings to the side of the mouth. A juxtaposition of fat and skinny, soft but acidic, green but ripe. Superbly complex white wine from a warm climate.

This wine displays the depth and balance for which this variety has developed a cult wine personality following. On the nose it displays aromas of guava, citrus and subtle marjoram spice. Wrapping around a core of chalky minerality are flavours of nectarine, citrus, melon and hazelnuts. Bringing it all together is a bitter almond character that complements the savoury and textured finish. Drink now or be rewarded with cellaring for up to 10 years.
