I wanted a wine that had a nose that was reminiscent of walking in an alpine meadow on a crisp spring day; alpine flowers, mint, wild herbs with racey acidity.
We need as much good news as we can get in pandemic times and we are proud to showcase a four-pack of our top scorers in the new Halliday Companion. Our special thanks to everyone in these past vintages who helped make it all happen.
Made in a complex, Alsatian style. Light salmon colour with flavours of red apple skin, earthy citrus, and ginger spice. Refreshing acidity is balanced with a slight pucker giving the wine texture to frame the fruit.
Ripe, juicy lime, granny smith apples, melon, and passion fruit with a hint of spring blossom. Off-Dry, luscious, and refreshing with mouth-watering acidity that coats the palate with a rich mouth feel. Will continue to develop flavours of spices and dried fruit in the coming years.
Grapes sourced from the North facing Merricks, Mornington Peninsula vineyard on red volcanic ferrous eroded basaltic soils, picked 6/3/2018. Indigenous fermentation with 50% whole bunches, matured in 50% new French oak barrels, unfined and unfiltered. Note - Same winemaking practices applied to all batches.
