Produced from the Estates 1927 planted Marsanne vines some of the oldest in the world. The fruit is harvested early at high natural acid levels, no chemicals are added and the juice becomes fully oxidised. The clean juice is then fermented at 11 to 15C with the resultant wine water white, with high acid and flavourless. The wine is bottled and then the magic happens. It evolves into a wonderful, textural, mineral wine ... its a classic ugly duckling to beautiful swan story. Alister Purbrick ~ Winemaker & 4th Generation.

”1927 Vines was an epiphany, inspired by the beauty that comes to bottle-aged Hunter semillon. A steely, pure backbone of clean acidity is the vehicle for the grape's underrated versatility and charm. Honeysuckle, apple blossom, white peach, honeycomb and hay mingle in the glass. Six years old and still fresh, it tingles on the palate with lemon zest, grapefruit and dusty apple brightness. Texture is developing and the long, apricot nut finish is something that stays with you. Still a pup.”
