Details
Fourth generation winemaker Chester Osborn confesses to never having really grown up. Heメs still making mud pies, concoctions of mushy ingredients using the earth, water and sun. The only difference is that people are now buying them and you can drink them.
The nose is wonderfully aromatic and perfumed with an unmistakable rose water character that is backed by a raft of fruits including peach, papaya and green mango. Underlying there is an inviting ginger character and a touch of cinnamon and spice.
The palate is intensely lush with rose water followed by yellow peach, strawberry, apricot nectar and Fuji apple. The acidity runs right through the palate with a long finish of orange butter and lemon scented gum honey. There is an enormous amount of complexity and each sip draws out another character. As the wine opens up, the ginger and spice from the nose makes its way to the palate.
Upon release it is fresh and lively, but with careful cellaring the fruit characters will venture into the dried fruit spectrum and it is anticipated that the spicy elements and gingerbread character will play a bigger part.
