Growing Region: 59% Clare Valley & 41% Eden Valley, South Australia
Chief Winemaker: Adam Eggins
Gold Medal - Decanter World
Wine Awards 2010.
TASTING NOTE:
A lively collaboration of two unique wine
regions of South Australia. After harvesting the fruit in the evening, the
winemaking team gave this wine as with all the fruit at Taylors immense care to
ensure varietal and regional flavours formed in the vineyard were carried
through to the bottle. The free run juice was racked and a relatively neutral
yeast strain added to initiate the fermentation that was carried out in
stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures, then minimal fining and filtration
prior to bottling.
In the glass a bright wine with a slight lime hue. On the nose, expressive floral aromas along with lime, lemon and a slight mineral note. The Clare Valley component delivers ample ripe citrus flavours with tight acidity while the Eden Valley parcel adds a touch of mineral complexity. This crafted wine shows flavours of fresh lemon, kaffir lime leaf, a firm mid-palate with cleansing acidity. The wine has an underlying mineral character which adds to the elegant finish of the wine. Serve at approx 8-9C.
