Tasting Notes
A vibrant, elegant white with crisp fruit and floral finesse, showcasing Margaret River’s terroir.
The nose reveals white nectarine, lime curd, and jasmine, with hints of lemon blossom and chamomile. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and lifted, with bright acidity, a creamy texture, and flavors of Nashi pear, peach, and a long, mineral finish.
