The previous 2015 vintage was cleaned up by hail. Some fruit was salvaged but the Sauvignon Blanc component was sourced from the Adelaide Hills. This 2016 is back to 100% estate grown Granite Belt fruit.
Grassy, gooseberry, real lemonade, honeydew melon, snow peas and lemons. Dry to taste, some good weight due to the barrel work which delivers a drawn out finish with a bright and crunchy acidity. Clever. Winemaker Ray Costanzo has found his niche using some barrel work with his whites - and to great effect too.
Grab some seafood with a glass or two of this and satisfaction will come your way.
Drink now.
Very good.
