Wine Family: The High Altitude Hillbillies
Tasting Notes:
A pure expression of the variety. Pale light straw-green colour. Green capsicum notes, lemongrass and green pears are pungent on the nose. The palate is citrusy, grassy and herbal with a distinct passion fruit flavour. A fresh layer of wet slate, green apple, kiwifruit and snow peas are aligned with a superb degree of acidity bringing an outstanding intensity and balance. Hard not to be seduced by the refreshing and lingering zesty finish.
Behind the Name:
Despite being a good match for fish, the name has nothing to do with them! A fishplate is a term for the nylon plates that collect grape bunches on a harvester, and often break when navigating around the steep, windy vineyards.
