Here, it brings gentle, honeyed tones, with marigold flowers and whispers of honey puffs leading the way. Almonds and lemon juice gradually build momentum adding a little savoury detail and citrus lift.
The fruit leaves a clear imprint across the mid-palate, where the delicate green teal-like texture takes centre stage. The acidity is soft rather than sharp, allowing the fruit to do the talking without interruption.
This is a wine I’d happily introduce to someone developing their palate, particularly those seeking fine texture and flavour without a pronounced acid hit.
It’s good drinking now, with plenty to explore as this emerging variety finds its feet in McLaren Vale. As the vines mature, there’s every reason to be curious about what comes next. Good stuff.
