Sourced from Tasmania and the Upper Yarra Valley; barrel-fermented in 50% new, 50% 1-year-old French oak, 80% mlf. Combines complexity with feline grace, a marvellous array of white stone fruit, melon, fig and grapefruit flavours all seeking to speak, the mlf providing a creamy note to the texture.

Full, bright yellow colour. Intense, rich, open-knit peachy bouquet, with lots of richness and volume, bordering on the opulent. Lashings of high quality oak, in good balance with the rich, concentrated fruit flavour. Outstanding wine.
