The Character

Overall Vibrant and fresh
Aromas Lemon zest, poached pears, and white flowers with gentle vanilla hints
Mouthfeel Silky with refreshing acidity and lift
Tasting Notes Aromas of citrus blossom intermingled with a bit of crushed oyster shell. The flavors lean more toward citrus than stone fruit. It is bright, fresh acidity that belies the fact that it was 100% barrel fermented, aged sur lies and underwent 100% malo-lactic fermentation. Still a youngster, even with 6 years of bottle age.
Pairings Roasted chicken, Grilled prawns

The Story

From Ritchie Vineyard but from a section of the vineyard with very rocky, unforgiving soils. It was planted to an old Wente selection and produced small clusters of unevenly sized berries. Whereas the old vine Ritchie was built on power and intense fruit, these vines produced a more delicate (but still firm) style of wine.
