The cool climate of Tasmania shines in the citrus poise of this wine with yellow peach, nectarine and sunflower kernels layered within. Once again acidity is all time with steep graduating steps of lemon curd and dots of finger lime. Oak acts as a natural moderator showing nutmeg, sawdust and creamed honey. A wine that punches above its weight for value and couldn’t be from anywhere else on earth but Tasmania. Drink now and ideally with green roast chicken oregano and loads of lemony potatoes.
