A blend of a Viognier, Vermentino, Semillon and Muscat of Alexandria. Most of the fruit comes from Barmera, off an organic block, with a little part from our organically farmed blo cks in the Barossa. A touch of skin contact Vermentino makes this light white blend textural with a salivating acid line. Showing a lychee and apricot blossom from the Muscat and Viognier, with a touch of spice from the Vermentino. A playful white blend, enjoyed chilled. Viognier, Vermentino, Semillon and Muscat. 10.4% Viognier was picked late February. Lightly pressed (with the skins going to the RAG Syrah/Viognier blend). This keeps the resulting wine fresh and crisp. It was fermented in large format oak foudre and some 300l hogsheads. The Vermentino was fermented on skins to produce a spicy and textural blending component. MEG is completed with some Semillon from one of organically farmed vineyards in the Barossa, and a small addition of skin fermented Muscat of Alexandria to add some brighter fruit notes like lychees. An approachable slight skin contact white blend that doesn't break the bank! MEG - Maria Elizabeth Graham - a kudos to Maria, the backbone of any occasion, full of wisdom and advice. Thanks mum.
