Feathertop
Kel Boynton has long been a champion of alpine-grown Victorian wine, although he would be the first to concede that to a greater extent than most Australian grape-growers, he is at the mercy of a challenging climate. Good seasons in 2010, 2012 and 2013 have been followed by a fine harvest in 2014 whose white wines have enabled Boynton to harvest at a pleasing ripeness and freshness. At their best, Feathertop wines deliver purity and perfume, with fine, elegant palates of charming balance and freshness.
