"Fermented wild in oak and left on lees for 12 months before being transferred to stainless for a few months prior to bottling. As beautiful as ever. Fresh green apple, nectarine and peach flavours come spun with toasty, spicy, cedary oak. Whispers of flint and ginger-like characters add highlights, as does a subtle creaminess to the texture. It’s all of fresh, flavoursome, long and elegant. It also has charm on its side." - Wine Front

"2018 was a good year for the Macedon Ranges with quality and yield generally achieved across the board, what is immediately evident with the 2018 release is the concentration of fruit; the sheer power of the wine is quite remarkable but held in balance by the vanillin impact of new oak and the mineral acidity that the region is known for. To get specific the nose focuses on white peach and nectarine with cashew oak and flinty top notes; the palate unfolds with stone fruits atop a lithe line of acidity and white grapefruit and lemon pith giving texture on the mid palate. The finish enjoys the impact of oak that leaves a lingering richness." - Patrick Eckel

"A floral and savoury nose rich with white stone fruits mesh with complex struck match & wheat notes. Layers of lemon-lime citrus zest and fresh cut green apple add charm to the subtly savoury frame of white truffle and bakers spice.

Intense white peach drives the front palate before being drawn taut via crisp citrus energy that merges with savoury wheatmeal notes and fine chalky structure that culminates with lingering minerality." - Curly Flat
