RRP (AUD)

A blend of old vine Gimblett Gravels and Bridge Pa fruit. Richly flavoured and openly textured, this wine is delicious drinking on release and set for medium term (3-5 years) cellaring for those with patience. Vibrant pale straw colour with some green tinges. Fresh and fruit driven yet complex and light on its feet. Vibrant acidity balanced by a creamy, lingering texture.
