Spring Collection

TASTING NOTES

The Juliette is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc and has her roots in the shale soils of the stunning Highfield farm in Elgin, in a vineyard farmed for premium wine. This includes intensive shoot thinning and leaf removal after berry set to allow optimum tropical flavours to develop in the fruit. Grapes were harvested in the cool early morning hours and sorted at cellar.

This attention to detail yielded a lively wine, with crushed pineapple, bananas and soft tropical notes of white peaches and pear on the nose. A full mouthfeel with fresh green melon flavours that excite the senses, and lingering finish complete the drinking experience.

Perfect for relaxing on a picnic blanket or with long lunches around the pool, surrounded by the stirring sounds of nature and the laughter of loved ones sharing a memorable moment. It is also a great wine for food such as grilled prawns, sushi and other seafood dishes.

Beautiful unique copper hue from extended skin contact, making this wine technically an orange wine!
Delicious aromas of peach, strawberries, tropical pineapple, apricots, and wild spring flowers. Luscious palate while retaining a balanced minerality.
Pairing Suggestions: This wine drinks excellent on its own, but also pairs well with lighter style meals like white fish, salmon burgers, casual hotdogs, antipasti, savoury aspic with ham & pistachios, or roast chicken.

Clean and sharp flavors of white pepper, almond, under-ripe pear and mineral-driven citrus blend into a finish loaded with energy and sparked by a salivating finish.

Yellow with hints of green, the nose is fine and delicate, elegant and racy, presenting the aromas of fresh fruit. The attack is supple, suggesting notes of lemon that are almost menthol (camphor). The final reveals hints of ripe fruit and candied fruit. It's fat and long.

Vitovska is a native grape only found in the Friuli Venezia-Giulia region in northeast Italy. And within the region, it is only grown in Friuli Carso where it loves the iron rich soils which produce wines of incredible minerality.

Tasting Notes
Wines from Puligny-Montrachet are typified by aromas and flavors of green apple and lemon and tend to be tauter and firmer on the palate compared to wines from neighboring villages. Aging in a small percentage of new French oak barrels lends accents of toast and vanilla. Structured white wines with high acid and grip, Puligny-Montrachet is destined for long aging.

Food Pairing
White Burgundy, with its rich texture and toasted flavors, pairs well with white fish and shellfish and its naturally high acidity can counterbalance cream-based sauces. Oak-aged Chardonnay from warmer climates lends itself well to grilled fish, starches, butter, and toasted nuts.
