Tasting Notes

Color & Aroma

Pale straw in colour. Aromas dominated by citrus( lemon and grapefruit) and mineral characters.

Palate

Bright, crisp acidity balanced out by lovely fruit sweetness. Characters from the nose (lemon and grapefruit) follow through along with fleshy green apple. Hints of saline and a lemon pithy finish bring this lively wine together.

Pairing

Seared yellowfin tuna served with a nicoise salad.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 2025 vintage in McLaren Vale was one of the driest growing seasons we've experienced since 2006, with warm, drought-like conditions prompting an early and compressed harvest.
These dry conditions brought welcome benefits - exceptionally low disease pressure, balance yields and fruits of outstanding quality.
Harvest commenced a week earlier than 2024, with a condensed vintage we finished with the Maxwell team handpicking some Mataro for our last fruit on the 20th March. One of the first easters off that our winemaking team can remember. Overall, an excellent year to stock up your cellar.

Maker Notes

Early morning harvest, WB pressed, stainless steel cool fermentation. Minimal time on lees for fresh bright characters.
