Winemaker notes on current 2023 vintage
"Pale lime to pale straw. Vibrant aromas of brioche, oyster shell and white peach. A precise and impressive palate, with notes of citrus peel and warm bread directed by a fine acid backbone, giving incredible length. A wine with great delineation, a true reflection of the unique Gimblett Gravels Vineyard."
