This masterful expression of cool-climate Savagnin represents the pinnacle of Australian oxidative winemaking, crafted through a patient four-year maturation under a natural "veil" of flor yeast.

Emerging from a season that yielded exceptional intensity and structural poise, the 2020 vintage reveals a brilliant gold hue in the glass, signaling its remarkable depth.

The aromatic profile is a sophisticated tapestry of preserved lemon, toasted hazelnuts, and exotic spice, which leads into a palate of profound concentration and energy.

Huon Hooke, awarding it a towering 97 points, celebrates its "power and presence," noting a seamless balance between its high-tensile acidity and a mouth-filling, chalky texture. The finish is remarkably persistent, leaving a lingering impression of savory complexity and saline minerality that defines this world-class tribute to the Jura tradition.
