Plenty of Margaret River generosity on show in the ’23 vintage with some smart winemaking in play. Flows easily, warmly, bringing white nectarine fruits, citrus, stylish French oak, flint notes and spice to the fore. Delivers good weight and some attractive textural integration with layers of smooth, creamy mealiness. There is solid flavour to enjoy highlighted in bright acidity all the way.
