PV Tasting Notes

Pale straw in colour with subtle green hues. Fresh, intense aromas of succulent gooseberry and grassy lemony fruits accompanied by a hint of honeydew melon. Provides a satisfying weight of flavour on the palate with zesty citrus and complex exotic tropical nuances, the finish is long and persistent with a keen balance of vibrant acidity and lingering fruit sweetness. Should drink well for 5 years or more. Tasted Sept 2008

Independent Review

88 points James Halliday - Australian Wine Companion.
A lively, fresh palate with vibrant grassy flavours dominant, a touch of tropical fruit in the background; Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon/Viognier. Screwcap.
Rating 88 Drink 2011 
 

A classic crisp and dry wine, would suit all manner of light Tapas dishes, Escabeche of Sardines, Battered Squid, Basque squid stew, Hake with hop paprika dressing, Catalan Fish Stew, Paella, Tortilla, Andalusian Pork, White Bean and Chorizo Soup or even roast Spanish style chicken.
 

Soft pressing with individual batching and cold settling of each variety. A cool, gentle onset to fermentation (10C) followed by a slightly warmer finish (15C). No oak maturation or malolactic fermentation to maintain vibrancy and freshness of fruit. Individual parcels were then blended and stabilised prior to bottling under Stelvin closures.
