Composition
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Tasting Note
Vibrant and creamy the Three Card Monte has aromas of kaffir lime leaves, cut grass, minted pea and orange blossum. The palate is mouthfilling and creamy from time in oak with vibrant citrus and herbal flavours dominating. Long lasting and moreish finish.
Winemaking
50% of the grapes were fermented on skins for three days with a cultured yeast and the other 50% fermented on skins for seven days with wild yeast. It was then racked to French oak, 25% new, for 11 months.

95 Points / James Halliday / Halliday Wine Companion 2019
Machine-harvested, 7 days on skins, free-run juice wild-fermented and matured in oak (20% new) for 12 months. The full-on approach might have been a disaster, but was in fact a triumph. While creating layered complexity, it is long and fresh, with vibrant mouthfeel, and lemon curd, citrus and integrated, faintly toasty oak.
