A blend of three varieties growing alongside each other in the Frankland River wine growing region to the north of the Great Southern – 60% Pinot Gris, 30% Gewürztraminer and 10% Riesling. A small proportion of the pinot gris spent 6 months in French oak puncheons. As expected, the nose is a complex combination of exotic, citrus and stone fruits with fragrant, lifted floral notes. The palate repeats the complex blend of fruit flavours with hints of spice in the mid palate leading to a long citrus finish. The wine will improve with careful cellaring over a five year period.

Mouth-watering citrus fruits are balanced by more tropical passionfruit and pineapple notes. Hints of flint and spice in the mid-palate lead to a lingering fine finish of grapefruit.
