McLaren Vale enjoyed an exceptional vintage in 2004. Following a cool, wet winter, bud break was later than usual but with the arrival of spring, conditions changed quickly. Temperatures warmed significantly, rushing the harvest. At the first sign of an overly vigorous vine, vineyards were hand-thinned to balance the vine and lower yields. By harvest, the combination of ideal crop levels and perfect summer ripening conditions produced rich, high-quality fruit.

This slightly green, pale golden wine is brimming with fresh citrus and creamy peach aromas. On the palate, the wine has a rich, creamy mouth feel, a result of sur lie aging. Fresh and fruity, with citrus and stone fruit character, the zesty finish is perfectly balanced with just enough acidity to carry the fruit.
