This was a cool vintage, and the grapes were hand picked and whole-bunch pressed to 500 litre French oak puncheons for fermentation with natural yeasts. 10 months on lees. Precise, mineral and taut with a matchstick edge to the nose. Citrussy and pure in a fresh, restrained style. The palate is tight, mineral and reductive with lovely precision and notes of grapefruit and citrus pith. Chablis-like in terms of weight and acidity. Thought provoking and so un-Aussie. 93\/100<\/p>\n<p>Find this wine with\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-searcher.com\/index.lml?referring_site=WAN\" target=\"_blank\">wine-searcher.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love this wine.
