Fresh, pure, dry and textural. One of the rising star white varieties of McLaren Vale. Made mostly in tank to preserve the aromatic and varietal freshness, a small proportion was fermented and aged in old French barrels to enhance the texture and complexity.

"Perhaps the champion grape variety of McLaren Vale these days.
Very good. Tastes like Fiano and has an excellent stony/chalky texture. Aside that, green pear, apple, quince, lemon zest, a little spice, an almond richness, subtle smokiness. Fresh, flavoursome, a light quinine tang, and a long cool finish. It’s a terrific expression of this grape variety, combining richness with a tight citrine brightness. Lovely."
