A penetrative fragrance of grapefruit, lemon twist, white peach and creamy vanilla oak reveals notes of hazelnut, coriander, almond and oyster shell. Long and generous, its brightly lit core of citrus, melon and stonefruit flavour is underpinned by a fine chalkiness, finishing with shape, focus and faintly saline, savoury aspects.

Winery
Pike and Joyce
This joint venture between Pikes Wines (Clare Valley) and Joyson Orchards (Lenswood) in the Adelaide Hills is responsible for a typically well made and varietally correct collection of elegant cool climate wines. The usually shapely and mineral Chardonnay is usually the flag bearer amongst a fine, pristine collection of white wines, each of which delivers beautiful varietal purity. In particular, the Sauvignon Blanc is a spotless of frequently mineral wine - poles apart from what most Marlborough expressions deliver. The reds are steadily improving, led by some very delicious pinots with pleasing textural and savoury qualities.
