Mount Benson, Limestone Coast
100% Grüner Veltliner
12.5% Alc
After a cool & damp Christmas/New Year, the coastal breezes thankfully assisted in avoiding disease pressure in our vineyard, as well as Mundulla. A long, dry ripening season featured consistently warm, sunny days & cool nights without extreme heat or wind related stress. These ideal conditions have resulted in sublime fruit quality right across the board, from early-picked sparkling to late-ripening red varieties.
The grapes are handpicked and whole bunch pressed for gentle extraction. After a light settle 1/3 of the juice is transferred to ceramic egg. 1/3 into mature French oak and the remaining juice goes into stainless tank. The parcels are blended together prior to bottling.
The Wangolina Grüner is fresh with meyer lemon & fresh, crunchy celery. Adding to the fleshy white stone fruit, there is a slightly peppery undertone that combines with chalky minerality and long, but fine acidity, to create a complex and engaging style of wine.
