Cape Mentelle Georgiana 2010
|

|
|
APPEARANCE: Pale straw with hints of green.
NOSE: White peach, passionfruit, frangipani and freshly cut lime arise from beneath a lemon curd and marshmallow centre.
PALATE: Lively and lifted citrus fruits with delicate slippery texture showcase a vibrant and fresh palate. A touch of anise and honeysuckle provide lovely complexity.
The lion’s share of the fruit came from the cooler southern half of the region, including our Chapman Brook Vineyard. Various canopy management methods are used, with the objective being to maximise fruit flavour development. The typical soils of these vineyards are geologically ancient, free draining sandy loams with a high percentage of lateritic gravel.
The 2010 harvest in Margaret River continues the run of excellent vintages, again marked by a very dry and mild summer. The only significant rainfall for the vintage period was not until mid-April, ensuring a perfect ripening period with fruit retaining pristine varietal flavours, showing great concentration and intensity.
