"‘you are unlikely to find a more polarising and yet more spectacular wine this year…’" Matthew Jukes, www.matthewjukes.com, 1st May 2010
Ageing Potential:
With careful cellaring, this wine will continue to develop in the bottle for a further ten years.
Food Matching Note:
It is very food friendly wine and is a superb accompaniment to fuller flavoured sea food dishes, asparagus and is one of the rare wines which pairs well with fresh tomato soup!
Tasting Note:
Still very lively and fresh showing good citrus notes also hints of macadamia nut characters and beginnings of a light smokiness as a consequence of bottle development. Still a remarkably tight, zesty and youthful wine with a superb structure and length. Time in the bottle has deepened the lime citrus and honey dew fruit flavours which fill out the mouth while finishing clean and dry.
Vinification Note:
The grapes are picked early & fermented cold in stainless steel tanks. Following a 2 week fermentation period, the wine is clarified and bottled immediately before being cellared at the winery.
