Mandarin
"Mandarin" spends over six months on skins, soaking up colour, flavour and character – but never getting heavy. The result is all gentle grip and sunny citrus, like mandarins, apricots and orange blossom wrapped up in an easy flow. A textured white for long tables, seafood feasts, and golden evenings.
What it's like
Deep savoury pineapple notes with good acidity. Mid palate has tonnes of texture with with mild refreshing tannins.

Serving suggestions
Serve cold to lightly chilled. Pair it with some charred wild broccolini and grilled octopus.

Varieties
100% Fiano from Gundagai NSW. A long growing season of warm days but cool nights gives some wonderful honey notes but retained acidity.

Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, 94 points
Succulent, finely wrought orange wine of delicate yet firm ropes of tannins, ginger spice, dried mixed peel characters and a building swish of fine, lacy tannins. It’s bright and juicy too, brisk with tangy acidity, shows a cool refrain of grapefruit-meets-blood orange juicyiness and finishes chalky and pucker, yet fine. Sheesh, this drinks great.

Satsuma plum meets redcurrant and dried vine leaf. There is caper leaf, lavender and dried thyme. Morello cherries and pomegranate juice. A slight chill suits but don’t go too far and miss the nuances of which there are plenty.
Tony Peters, Words from a Wineglass
This family are hiding nothing when it comes to their principles, their winemaking, and their winemaking principles, it is quite refreshing. They have every reason to stand tall beside their wines and marvel at their excellence. Nicely done indeed and thank you.
