This smells like Margaret River, with grassy and herbal aromas slotted through bright lime and lemony citrus and tropical notes. The palate has very fresh and upbeat fruit that follows the same thread as the aromas. Plenty of juicy flavor here.

This smells like Margaret River, with grassy and herbal aromas slotted through bright lime and lemony citrus and tropical notes. The palate has very fresh and upbeat fruit that follows the same thread as the aromas. Plenty of juicy flavor here.
A brilliant light hay color with mineral green edges. This wine exudes fresh green lime juice, white nectarine and Granny Smith apple skin, overlaid with crisp cucumber aromas with hints of fresh cut lemongrass, passionfruit and Meyer lemon peel. A subtle sea salt character persists over a seam of mineral wet granite to give a lifted freshness to this complex nose. The bright palate bursts forth with fresh citrus, tropical and floral notes of lime juice, grapefruit, green pawpaw, jasmine and fresh wild flowers. This wine has sinewy energy, displaying a fine line of acidity that carries the freshness and minerality to the end of the lithe palate. Elegant yet textural, there is great tension in the wine, which has a lifted floral white tea note on its finish.
The winemakers recommend the mineral brightness of this wine to be well suited to grilled crayfish with fresh lime juice, a freshly shucked oyster drizzled in lemon chili oil, or a simple scallop ceviche tossed with birds eye chili and a hint of mirin. Grilled haloumi sprinkled with sea salt, seared salmon tacos seasoned with a fresh mango and papaya salsa, or a simple Greek salad will all accentuate the juicy crispness of this summer white.
Blend: 79% Sauvignon Blanc, 21% Semillon
