Tasting Notes Aromas of citrus, pear and white peach lead to enticing stone fruit and fig flavours on the palate. Crisp acidity, complex layering with a hint of nougat and vanilla culminate in a long seamless finish. Winemaking Hand-picked from select rows in our high altitude Eden Valley vineyard. The grapes are whole bunch basket-pressed, before the juice is run to barrel for fermentation. Wild and inoculated fermentation is encouraged. Regular lees stirring and 8 month’s maturation in new and seasoned French oak barriques gives the wine beautiful texture and complexity. Vineyard Soil Type: Deep clay loam contrast sandy loam soils on dark brown subsoil.

Immediately appealing aromas of tropical fruits such as guava, kaffir lime and green mango against a more restrained nashi pear note. The exotic fruit profile intermingles with Asian spices such as lemongrass and pickled Japanese ginger. The palate’s medium weight demonstrates a lightness and deft touch, with long acidity and acute fruit flavours. The mineral like acidity shines through with a saline and seashell freshness.

GI: southwestern Eden Valley. Bright straw with green grey edges. Elegantly expressed, the inviting bouquet shows rockmelon and mandarins with Jasmine and fresh pear. A juicy palate, finely textured with citrus and pome fruits. Beautifully rounded, offering flowing mouthfeel and bright fruit flavours. Serve chilled to enjoy its refreshment. An adaptable wine that is suited as an aperitif, with roast chicken and right through to desserts of apple pie like Mum Margret's. "Pristine and elegantly lifted." 93pts, Sam Kim Wine Orbit "Margret was my mother and this wine with its nashi pear, hints of stone fruits and zesty green apple is made in memory of my mum's home-made baked apple pie on a Sunday afternoon."
