Stony Brook Ghost Gum White 2018
About The Wine
Pale gold in colour with glints of vibrant green. The Chardonnay component
offers fresh citrus and butterscotch on the nose, while the Semillon gives richness
and a suggestion of honeycomb on the palate. The oak is perfectly balanced and
complements the fruit and natural structure of the wine.
The brightness and oak contact will allow this wine to age and change gracefully for
up to 10 years from harvest. The Semillon will come to the fore as the wine matures.
A wonderful accompaniment to seafood or creamy pasta dishes.
Rating
John Platter Wine Guide 4.5 Stars: Understated power a hallmark of this flagship white blend, Chardonnay and Semillon. Pear, lime and lemon blossom aroma and flavours, delicious creamy finish. Oak well calculated to give nuance, support rather than flavour.
