7 Bottle release of our Museum Stock

Colour: Pale straw with lime hues.

Aroma: Jasmine flower with fresh lime rind and a touch of seaspray on the nose. Hints of brioche and freshly baked bread.

Palate: The palate is bright and delicate, fresh lime rind and lemon curd jump out initially followed by white nectarines, peach and pithy ruby grapefruit. There is weight from the barrel work and a rich brulee texture that coats the mouth before a fine line of acid takes over to give the wine great length.

2017 Vintage: The spring of 2016 was much cooler and wetter and this combined with the cooler conditions in early 2017 have seen Vintage 2017 be a more traditional Margaret River vintage. The yields for most white varieties were strong and harvest began later in February continuing well into March capturing the bright, fragrant aromas. The slower ripening has resulted in superb whites with excellent flavour profiles.

Vintage Rating: 8/10
