The nose is lifted, fresh and vibrant, with kaffir lime and lemon characters at the fore, followed by layers of subtle blossom and enticing floral rosewater nuances. The bouquet is expressive and precise, reflecting the cool-climate character of the Clare Valley and the meticulous care taken at the estate since 1969.
Palate
Intense citrus fruit characters of fresh lemon and lime lead the palate, with hints of orange blossom adding delicate complexity. Through the mid-palate there is excellent fruit presence with zesty fresh lemon and lime. The finish is crisp, clean and persistent — crafted for immediate enjoyment but with the structure to cellar over the medium term under ideal conditions.
