Highly Recommended = A very fine wine which is a faultless example of the style

An attractively lemony wine with impressive intensity of palate backed by racy acidity. It has just enough sauvignon blanc varietal character, and is not dominated by herbaceousness. Beautifully made.

This understated wine seamlessly melds Clare Valley Semillon and Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc. The bouquet has pure lemon and lime fruit with lifted peach blossom, while the palate is fine and elegant with a driving structure of textured minerality. Its defined structure and long, finely poised finish raise it a notch above preceding vintages.

ON THE GRAPEVINE

Super-consistent Clare Valley / Adelaide Hills blend that delivers intense, complex and refreshing fruit flavours.

I love the texture and the flavour and the feeling that it’s not trying too hard. It’s not overloaded with pungent flavour, and as someone who likes to enjoy more than a glass or two, I appreciate this. Part of its drinkability. Flavours here of lemon and nectarine and nettles. An overall impression of understatement. A smidge of richness. And an appropriate alcohol level. A lovely white wine from Grosset. All it needs is another three or four months in bottle. And for someone to buy me a crayfish.

Indulge yourself

A green tinge makes an inviting introduction to this very special Clare Valley blend. It has  focused purity, rather like an essence of the fruit, with delicious lime, herb and peachy characters of lovely intensity and excellent texture. It is intense, long-tasting and pristine. Delicious.

Ageing? Drink over three years.
