With more Mediterranean varietals coming out of Riverland at the moment than ever before, there are so many fun options to explore and experience, offering great bang for your buck. A one-way ticket for Summer – I’m definitely on board for the ride! A delicious, quality follow-on from the 2021 vintage with an abundant aroma hit of honeydew melon, blossom, pink grapefruit and lemon pith. A touch of skin contact before pressing gives the palate a slightly slippery feel, but it’s also refined with a saline freshness – white peach, fresh almonds, ripe limes and honeysuckle. Solid line and length with a profound concentration of flavour. Perfect for summer sipping by the pool or try it with some crumbed calamari with lemon and saffron aioli. Bravo Jules and Bec!
