A wine that stays with you long after the first sip. Sourced from the celebrated White Hills Vineyard near Launceston, it arrives in all of its usual steely focus and mineral intensity, but that elevated level of floral spiciness brings an added wow factor. Wildflowers, citrus blossom, lemongrass, grapefruit and citrus aromas soar. Scintillating mineral spark sets the scene for a beautifully composed palate with a spice-fuelled delicacy of flavour and smooth textural delivery courtesy of an expert-managed acid/sugar exchange. Complexity is assured and on the rise. In other words, it’s at the start of a long journey.
