From fruit sourced from Macclesfield in the Adelaide Hills, this white is vibrant and aromatic, with notes of white pepper on pear and tropical flavours of guava and white florals. It’s fresh and lively on the palate, zingy with acidity, and has lovely mid-palate texture from partial oak contact. The wine finishes dry, with lingering pear drop and savoury hay flavours. This would be a great match for spaghetti vongole, garlicky and spiked with a little chilli heat.
