The colour is a bright pale straw. The nose is alluring and complex with aromas of grapefruit, lemon meringue and peach blossom. The barrel fermentation imparts butterscotch, brioche and hazelnut character. The palate bursts with intense flavours carried through from the nose. The acidity is in perfect balance keeping the wine fresh and mouthwatering. This wine is deliciously rich and full with a long length. The extended barrel maturation has helped seamlessly integrate the oak and lend creaminess to the palate.

Grapes from our historic Greenmeadows vineyard on the beautiful Mission Estate were hand harvested for this wine. This vineyard has deep, sandy-silt loams, allowing for sustainable growing without the need for irrigation. Two clones are used, the old Mendoza clone that was planted 29 years ago and clone 15, planted in 2015.
