Bright pale straw, with a green tinge.Fragrant white flowers, citrus blossom and lemon pith with hints of stone fruits and rockmelon, lift from the glass.Refreshing and crisp with a lovely pristine fruit core. A fresh, generous yet dry finish with lingering tangy fruit expression and a slight, citrus pith texture, gives a wonderful mouthwatering sensation.
2024 Classic Dry White is comprised of sustainably grown fruit and fermented with organic and mixed strain yeasts. This has added to heightened fruit expression with textural elements. Thanks to a fantastic growing season, all fruit was picked at optimal ripeness and harvest was completed by mid-February. This vintage has delivered a soft and full fruit core while still containing crunchy fresh acidity.
The 2024 vintage was early and fast-paced. An early spring,the warmest in memory, saw below-average rainfall, leadingto early flowering and veraison. The summer saw no rainfall and sustained warmth, with no extremes, ensuring most fruit ripened without damage. Harvest started in mid-January with Wilyabrup Chardonnay, showcasing perfect balance and flavour. Sauvignon Blanc followed, with slightly lower yields due to some sunburn. The warm conditions led to an earlier-than-expected red harvest. The Cabernet showed beautifully ripe fruit flavours, firm tannins, and great balance. Red yields were also slightly lower, however, vine health remained excellent. The Marri blossom was phenomenal this year, keeping bird pressure to almost zero. Despite the early start and warm, consistent conditions, the fruit quality was excellent and beyond expectations.
63% Semillon, 37% Sauvignon Blanc
90 Point Rated - Jane Faulkner Halliday Wine Companion
"Semillon and sauvignon blanc form the basis of this uncomplicated drink full of good fruit. Tangy and juicy, with no overt flavours, as in too tropical, just some Chinese gooseberries. There’s grapefruit and pith, lime zest, crunchy acidity and a juiciness throughout."
