From a single row of the Iberian Graciano, grafted on to mature Chardonnay rootstock on the auspicious Paxton Thomas Block at McLaren Vale. Fruit is treated to a fortnight of cool ferments, plunging and pumpovers, followed by a gentle press into French oak barriques for nine months maturation. A deliciously food friendly wine of lithe spice and herb aromatics, raspberries and lavender, gently seasoned with a touch of white pepper. Adorably elegant tannins lie in support of juicy raspberry fruits, its supple savouryness making the perfect accompaniement to cutlets and all Mediterranean fare.
