Sourced entirely from the North Vineyard at Rosehall and picked early to maintain acidity. It’s 100% barrel-fermented and aged in 500-litre French oak puncheons using 75% new oak. This is the best wine that I have tasted from Rosehall. It starts with extraordinary aromatics of poached pear, butter cream, ripe apple, elegant oak stylings, gunflint and a subtle note of caramel emerging. It’s rich, complex and textured on the palate and built on a lovely foundation of flinty-smoky mineral richness that melds gorgeously with ripe pear, spice, undercurrent of lemon-lime citrus, and all lifted by a fair bit of acidity.
