Its light straw colour with a green tint leads to a palate filled with juicy fruit flavours, fine texture, and crisp acidity, finishing with a linear and lingering elegance. Aromas of white nectarine and peach enhance its fresh profile, making it a delightful choice for any occasion.

Vintage Conditions: Good winter rains set a positive start to the growing season with ample soil moisture and no frost events. The cooler conditions delayed vine growth and flowering was later than average. Fruit set was influenced by the cooler season and some varieties yielded below average. The cool & mild conditions continued throughout and subsequently delayed harvest giving the fruit ample time to develop delicate flavours.
