Light bright yellow with a nutty/toasty barrel-influenced bouquet, slight yeasty/passionfruit and straw/silage overtones. The wine is soft and full, round and texturally refined, with a lovely balance between fruity and savoury characteristics. There is richness and depth of flavour indicating good concentration while the wine retains refinement and subtlety. Delicious drinking—if not especially varietal.

Grüner Veltliner from the Bellbrook vineyard on the East Coast of Tasmania, fermented wild in seasoned French barriques. Pale straw with beautiful aromas of white peach, grapefruit, freshly cut fennel, white pepper, almond blossom and crushed stone. Clarity and detail here with excellent tension, a slink of texture and a softly spiced finish that shows plenty of citrus and stone-fruited crunch and verve.
