Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Cloudy pale gold with lifted aromatics of cumquat, rosewater, musk and citrus blossom. The palate is textural and gently grippy, showing tangerine, marmalade, citrus peel and a savoury, spicy edge. Medium-bodied with a long, dry finish, this is a beautifully balanced skin-contact white — aromatic, refreshing and quietly complex.

Winemaking

Organically grown Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer are fermented on skins to build colour, texture and aromatic intensity. The wine is handled minimally, with wild fermentation, gentle extraction and no heavy oak influence. Lees contact adds savoury depth, while the skin contact brings grip and structure without bitterness.

Vineyard & Vintage

Grown in the cool, high-altitude vineyards of Orange, NSW, where long ripening and natural acidity help aromatic varieties shine. Organic farming enhances purity and expression, while the region’s cool climate preserves freshness and detail — ideal for skin-contact whites.
