Taste Profile

Tasting Notes

Pale gold with a slight haze from minimal handling. Aromas of citrus peel, white peach, dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is fresh and textural, showing lemon, apricot, light grip and a savoury edge from time on skins. Bright acidity keeps the finish clean and dry.

Winemaking

Organically grown Sauvignon Blanc and Marsanne are fermented on skins to build texture and savoury complexity. After a period of skin contact, the wine is gently pressed and fermented cool in stainless steel. Minimal additions and light filtration keep the style honest, with no oak used so the fruit and texture can stand on their own.

Vineyard & Vintage

Grown in high‑altitude vineyards in Orange, NSW. Cool nights and a long ripening season help the fruit retain acidity while developing citrus, stonefruit and herbal notes. Organic farming supports clarity, detail and a clean, textural palate.

Why We Love It

It’s bright, savoury and quietly complex — a skin‑contact white that still feels fresh and drinkable, with enough texture and grip to shine at the table.
