Lemon butter, brine, baked apples, and cinnamon—this wine is value for money. Winemaker Jeremy Hodgson (Jez) has a knack for crafting balanced, effortless wines with typicity. Classic Margaret River concentration on the nose, with gentle white and yellow peaches, that softly roll into an unexpected perfume of fresh-cut flowers. And who doesn’t like flowers? The palate is fresh and balanced, with crushed nuts and plenty of texture. Full solids and wild ferment build depth, while 100% barrel fermentation and nine months in oak, bring richness and structure. It’s a vibe. Eat with a grilled chicken burger.
