Again, from a single vineyard in Kuitpo, this saw two picks (one for freshness and the other for riper flavours and weight); fermented separately in steel. Nashi and yellow grapefruit, lemon balm and soft herbs, a little butter lettuce and snow pea tendril. That earlier pick leads the nose in a fragrant and zesty direction, the palate benefitting from a little more presence from that second pick, the overall impression one of satisfying refreshment and balanced intensity. - 92 points, Marcus Ellis

About the region

South Australia · Adelaide Hills

South Australia grows more wine than any other Australian state, and its subregions behave almost like separate countries. Barossa and Eden Valley give Shiraz and Riesling, McLaren Vale leans to Grenache, Clare Valley to dry Riesling, Adelaide Hills to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and Coonawarra to Cabernet on red terra rossa soil. Strict quarantine has kept phylloxera out, so some vineyards still work vines planted in the nineteenth century.
