So smart, so fine, so much class, it’s easy to see why Margaret River winemakers are talking up the 2022 vintage. One taste and you know this is something out of the box with its natural poise and seamless integration of fruit, oak and acidity throughout. Brings a heady mix of citrus charm and gentle tropical, stone fruit overlay with some masterful oak bringing everything together, so, so nicely indeed. Texture is fine and inviting while attractive almond nutty notes bring an extra layer of flavour before a brisk, long finish.
