Production Notes

Description

Ripe white fruits, apple and pear, with a spicy oak lift.

Created from old vines in our experimental vineyard block this complex wine is designed as an accompaniment in style to our iconic Sixties Block red wine. A totally unique one-off special to help celebrate our 155th anniversary of winemaking and the diversity of Rutherglen fruit.

Winemaker Notes

Harvested on the 6th March, berry samples from each of 17 varieties were regularly tasted before the decision to pick. Six rows did not make the cut. Gentle handling through the winery and a cool ferment preserved the flavours. A year long maturation in used French barriques and puncheons helped emphasise the texture and fruit in this unique blend.

Tasting Notes

A complex, taut palate highlighted by texture and minerality. Smooth fruit, a creamed soda mid palate, warm spicy oak and slight salinity leading to a crisp moreish finish.

Cellaring & Serving Suggestions

Cellaring: Enjoy now or over the next couple of years.

Serving Suggestions: A perfect match for all cold seafood driven tapas, such as Mussels Escabeche, white anchovies crostini, or warm dishes such as salt cod croquettes, or an appetiser of crunchy sea salt sprinkled Fritto Misto with Meyer lemon aioli.
