Brilliant pale straw colour with greenish tinged edges and a watery hue. Offering up a kaleidoscope of aromas the refined, intensely scented nose sees white peach, nectarine and light dried honey notes overlaid by cashew. Spicy nougat, biscuit and subtle gun flint nuances also chime in to provide an extra layer of complexity. Elegant and regal yet seriously potent and long, the palate is filled with ripe white peach, nectarine and biscuity cashew characters which sit over dried honey, nougat and spice elements. Beautifully textured creamy like, yet vibrant mouthfeel finishing with good freshness. A dazzlingly long aftertaste lingering well after the wine has been swallowed. Magnificent.

About the region

Western Australia · Margaret River

Western Australia makes a small share of Australia's crush and an outsized share of its fine wine. Margaret River, cooled on two sides by ocean, is the best known: Cabernet Sauvignon of real structure, taut Chardonnay, and the crisp Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blends the region made its name on. Inland and further south, the Great Southern subregions of Frankland River and Mount Barker add dry Riesling and peppery Shiraz.
