Fruit source from the Two Mile Hill site planted in 2017. Full malolactic and matured in French and Austrian oak Hogsheads. Sunflower, marigold and pollen florals. Yellow peach, Meyer lemon and mango skin. Kumquat oil, baked pears and nutmeg. Turmeric, hazelnut and nougat. Acidity flows like a running stream with raw and just toasted bread dough, shortbread and cashew cream. Some savoury tones of dried hay and Lion’s mane mushroom powder to round out the finish. A meal of a wine full of pairing possibilities. Drink now and will cellar well for another 3-6 years. I’d go for an onion and leek tart with baked goat cheese.
