Fruit is sourced from a single vineyard at Moyhu by the river. Subtle white florals, Lilies of the Valley, fennel and lemon verbena. Blue stone, running river and green apple curls. A yellow grapefruit citrus with white nectarine, longan fruit and self raising flour. There is an almond milk creaminess with greek yoghurt acidity and a gentle sway the mouthfeel. Oak is restrained instead letting the purity of citrus fruit take centre stage. It’s an elegantly styled wine with the pristine feel of the Valley shining through. Delightful. Drink now and will cellar 2-5 years. A wine that would be sublime with a cauliflower cheese bake or equally an almond croissant.
