The concentration of Margaret River is energised by the focus of Malic acidity and the biscuity, cashew nut character of 35% new French oak. Delightfully focussed lemon, grapefruit and white peach glides on a crystalline structure of malic acidity and finely poised structure. Line and length impeccable. Medium term potential.

Subtle oak; lemony flavour; tight, fine, crisp and intense in the mouth. A very good wine in a restrained, Chablis-like style. Invisible oak. Light-bodied and delicious with a great acid line. This is just starting to hit its straps and will live long. (It was exceedingly tight when it was first released).
