This is a classic Margaret River blend that rises to the next level with a small and subtle influence of barrel fermentation. Subtle, it might be, but the contribution is significant as the wine takes on more character and palate texture. There is richness within the palate while the lively acidity from this cooler vintage gives it a real zing. Love the combination of crunchy pineapple and citrus with a little stone fruit complexity. A perfect example of how you can take a standard style and with a bit of spit and polish create something just that little bit more interesting.
