Description
The Upper Ngumby vineyard is within the confines of Yarra Glen, sloping gently east. It is protected from the late afternoon sun by the Christmas Hills, rising up to the west. Steely citrus bouquet is supported by some flintiness and sweet melon character. A fresh melon and nectarine palate is integrated with subtle oak for a silky mouthfeel, finishing long and fresh.
"A blend of five clones wild-fermented in French oak (part new) and matured for 9 months. Has a particular freshness for a warm vintage, the length also good... 94pts" (Halliday).
