Product details

  • Winemaker

  • Variety

    Verdelho
  • Intense lime green in colour. A beautifully fragrant nose, with citrus & tropical fruit flavours bursting out of the glass. The Stickleback White is a wine greater than the sum of its parts, with each variety bringing its own unique quality to the blend. Verdelho adds natural richness and acidity to the palate. Viognier contributes luscious body and texture. Semillon provides vibrant, zesty, citrus characters. Flavours of white nectarine and apricot kernel are perfectly balanced by a crisp natural acidity on the finish. Fresh and lively, it makes a vibrant, refreshing drink.

Press ReviewPress

A decidedly useful quaffer of Verdelho / Viognier / Semillon at the right price for any informal setting. Screwcap. Rating 87 Drink by 2011.

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion 2011

(37% verdelho, 32% viognier and 31% semillon, with no oak) Pale yellow. High-pitched, spicy citrus zest and green apple fruit aromas are complemented by white pepper and mint. Firm, focused and nervy on the palate, offering zesty lemon zest and bitter quince flavors and a deeper note of apple skin. Finishes with solid, faintly bitter grip and lingering minerality. This tight, focused wine will be very flexible with lighter foods. 88 points.

Winemaking

Varieties: Verdelho (37%), Viognier (32%), Semillon (31%). All components were harvested relatively early in the season for maximum freshness and bright acidity. Minimal skin contact and cool fermentation on lees has heightened the mouth-feel of the wine. Bottled and released immediately after final blending. 2009 vintage notes: Langhorne Creek experienced a well-paced season with excellent conditions for ripening resulting in good flavour development and intensity. White varieties fared well this year with good crop levels. Limestone Coast experienced a dry vintage with minimal rain from January-March. Vineyard yields: 3 T/acre. Age of vines: 16 years
