Punchy, lifted Semillon aromatics of lemon grass, gooseberry and nectarine are a feature of the 2023 blend with the Sauvignon adding refreshing grassy, lime and passionfruit notes to make this much- loved Margaret River blend……The palate has wonderful juiciness and salivating acidity whilst having the hallmark texture from a portion (12%) being wild fermented then matured on light yeast lees in seasoned French oak barrels.

The fruit for this wine comes from our Karridale and Wilyabrup vineyards with each vineyard having
multiple picks at various degrees of ripeness to impart aromatic, flavour and textural complexity.
This is enhanced by the ripest portion of each variety being barrel fermented with the inclusion of
light solids (the Sauvignon Blanc, with its pressings fraction returned, all in 500L puncheons - and the
only portion wild fermented - and the Semillon in barrique) both which represent 12% of the final
blend. The balance was fermented in stainless steel tank as clear juice. All parcels remained on light
yeast lees for 3 months to harmonise and integrate the wine with the aim of producing a style which
will drink best beyond its current vintage year. The 2023 blend saw slightly more Semillon being
used due to the strength of this variety and to achieve the house style.
