Stemming from just a single block in the White Hills vineyard southeast of Launceston, vintage conditions allowed for excellent and even ripening. The nose shows some savoury pine needles, lemon, grapefruit and pear, with some extended air time allowing these notes to develop in the glass. Like the Leonay, there’s oodles of acid and a dash of sugar, with a silky, sinewy and refreshing mouthfeel; it’s the kind of wine that could easily do well as a sparkling, given Tasmania’s ideal growing conditions. Unless you’re an absolutely acid fiend, I’d recommend pairing the wine with some salty or spicy food, and keep some in the cellar for the next 10 years.
