Hahndorf Hill
Adelaide Hills
This crystalline beauty has a vibrant nose of citrus and nectarine. Fresh and lively palate with a riveting citrus core, surrounded by gentle stone fruit and a spritz of white pepper spice. Vibrant and fresh, yet unctuous and textural makes this wine perfectly matched with a huge range of different cuisine styles.
Viticulture
Sustainable viticulture with the main focus being to grow the best quality fruit that will permit high quality wine production in the cellar. Canopies are managed to reduce the threat of fungal disease and yields are contained at approximately 3 tonnes an acre. All grapes are hand-harvested.
Vinification
Grapes hand-harvested at different stages of ripeness to contribute to complexity. Destemmed, crushed, with selected parcels being allowed some skin contact. Some juice was cool fermented in stainless steel tanks with selected cultured yeasts, whilst other parcels of juice were wild-fermented in old barrels. The final wine is a blend of multiple and different ferments.
Recommendation
This comples and textural wine is perfectly matched with all Asian cuisine, white meats, sea-foods and vegetarian dishes.
