Description
From the Elgo vineyard in Strathbogie. The wine sits seven days on skins after crushing, with free run juice drawn into stainless steel for cool fermentation. The wine sits in tank on gross lees for six months, and is unfined and unfiltered prior to bottling. After a couple of bone-dry releases, this is back to a little residual sugar (around 10g/L) and looking superb for it – unashamedly Germanic, influenced by the skin contact techniques of Rebholz to build texture.
Lavendar, lemons, white flowers lead the nose, around a little reductive note, a touch of spritz. Plenty going on in the palate, beautifully textured with a zing of phenolic grip and a rock salt saline edge to balance out the RS. Exotic – yellow fruits, preserved lemon, finger limes, grapefruit, great energy and length.
