- This sophisticated and distinctively cool climate wine has flinty notes of asparagus and sage, zesty, vibrant and layered. A fragrant lavender aroma coupled with leafy, herbal spiciness from the oak. Gently tropical fruits provide enough acidity to cleanse and draw out the finish. The palate is soft and plush, with long acidity and a strong finish.
The Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc parcels were picked at maximum flavour maturity over several weeks, to ensure that all the various soil types and aspects of the vineyard were fully exploited. A combination of machine and hand harvesting was employed. Only the free-run parcels were used after a gentle pressing. Fermentation took place at 11 to 13°C, with 60% of the juice being fermented in two-year-old oak, for two months before final blending.
A fragrant lavender aroma coupled with leafy, herbal spiciness from the oak. Straw and cut grass from the Sauvignon Blanc balance this wine beautifully with gently tropical fruits providing enough acidity to cleanse and draw out the finish. The palate is soft and plush, with long acidity and a strong finish.

| Winery | The Pedestal range is so named after the elevation of the Margaret River vineyard. The vines are grown at the highest point of the Wilyabrup Valley, which is influenced by the cooling ocean breeze. The soils in the northern part of Margaret River are iron-rich laterite loams with high gravel content, which drain freely and warm up quickly in the spring. Due to the south-facing slopes, the vineyard does not see the afternoon heat and therefore it takes longer for the fruit to develop, concentrating the varietal characteristics and flavors. |
