Lovely primary fruit notes of apricots, sherbert, orange citrus, and peaches and cream. Citrus drives through the palate and finishes with lemon pith and rind. A vibrant and fresh aperitive style of wine.

The youthful freshness on release is so delicious and should be enjoyed young. Coming into the warmer months this wine is best paired with oysters, smoked salmon and a cheese board.

With premium shiraz sourced from our Sugarloaf Creek Vineyard in Great Western, our new Blanc de Noir is picked at the start of the ripening period. A section of the vine foliage is removed to let the sun work its magic on the grapes.

By harvesting the grapes earlier than we would for a red wine, we retain higher natural acidity essential for a bubbly white. Next, we handpick the grapes and gently press them to extract the juice, without any color from the red wine skins.

Finally, the wine is turned into a cuvee and is ready for your enjoyment. Treat yourself to this exquisite Blanc de Noir – guaranteed to delight your taste buds. 

The 2024 Blanc de Noirs is made entirely of Shiraz grown on the vineyard in Great Western. It makes sense, given the Thompson family have so much of quality in the ground there, although they also have magnificent Pinot Meunier, the oldest vines of their variety in the world. On the nose, the wine is fresh with pears and green apples, lychee and blueberry. The palate is soft, light, plump and juicy, with a simple but delicious outlay of flavor. It finishes with candy floss, sherbet and citrus pith. This has very little complexity, given its youth and varietal composition, but that doesn't stop it from being delicious. Well played. 13% alcohol. Anticipated Maturity: 2024-2028
