Why this wine
Younger and fresher than the single-vineyard bottling, with less oak influence and more direct citrus. Made for drinking now.
Our advantages:
Description
How it tastes
Citrus and white nectarine with nutty, toasty depth, real weight on the palate lifted by natural freshness into a long finish. Whole-bunch pressed and fermented unclarified in French oak puncheons and barriques.
The producer
Lindsay McCall bought a derelict orchard on the Mornington Peninsula in 1984 and planted it. Some of the vines feeding this wine are over thirty years old and deliberately low-yielding.
Food and drinking
Good with poultry & pork, rich & creamy dishes and seafood. Ready now, and will hold for a few years yet. Serve at 8–10°C.
