About This Wine
A vibrant and pure expression of the classic Margaret River white blend. Predominantly tank-fermented for freshness, with a small barrel-fermented component to add subtle texture and complexity. Crisp, fruit-driven, and effortlessly drinkable.

Appearance: Pale straw with a slight green tinge.
Nose: Fresh passionfruit and citrus, with dried herbs and a hint of lemon sherbet. Subtle barrel fermentation adds complexity.
