    Winemaker’s Comments
    The grapes are from two different vineyard sites that give a range of ripeness and hence different flavours
    The different vineyards each impart their own distinctive character, the structure of the wine reflects the soil type, the
    heavier soils provide body and structure, the lighter soils add fresh aromatics and a hint of mineral character.
    This wine shows ripe lime citrus flavours contrasted with fresh granny smith apple and hints of mineral characters. The
    wine has medium residual sweetness well balanced by the crisp acidity to finish clean and fresh. This wine is perfect
    drinking now while young but will reward cellaring for up to 10 years Enjoy with chicken, pork or seafood dishes.
    This wine has used the screw top closure to preserve fresh fruit flavours or allow the wine to age gracefully and reach
    its full potential with no bottle variation.
