Made from a specific block on the Hughes family vineyard in White Hutt—where lighter grey clay soils over limestone yield more delicate fruit—this wine balances richness with restraint. Harvested early to preserve acidity, the 2025 vintage showcases beautifully poised fruit and freshness, with natural residual sugar enhancing both flavour and mouthfeel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose leads with red apple, mandarin and sweet orange, laced with almond blossom and peony. On the palate, it’s all about contrast: ripe nectarine and juicy citrus meet sherbet-like acidity in a wine that feels both unctuous and electric. That hint of sugar (typically between 11–15g\/L) rounds the wine’s texture without losing its crisp, clean focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA go-to for spicy Southeast Asian dishes, soft cheeses or just sipping chilled on a warm afternoon.
