NOTES
Plantagenet Wines was the first winery in the Great Southern wine growing region of Western Australia. From small beginnings Plantagenet Wines is now one of the most well respected Western Australian wineries consistently producing quality wines for nearly 40 years. Fruit for many of the wines is sourced from the oldest vineyards in the region. The winery is located in the heart of Mt Barker Township which is 350kms south of the Western Australian capital of Perth.
The vineyards are located to the south and west of the township. The climate is considered cool to moderate with rainfall around 700m annually.
TASTING NOTES
Fruit sourced mostly from our 37 year old own Wyjup vineyard with equal portions from the Hayview, Lansdale and Richards vineyards, all growing around Mt Barker in the Great Southern region of Western Australia.
Showing great delicacy and restraint, though quiet floral with background notes of slate and lemon rind. A fine yet supple palate, but still tightly constructed with lovely natural acidity cutting a clean line from front to back palate. Long lingering citrus flavours at the moment that should evolve into toasty lemon butter with time in the bottle. A classic showing the benefits of a great vintage.
Age worthy, with at least a 12 year lifespan in the bottle.
REVIEWS
A little reductive on opening; incredibly tight lemon fruit, and a super-strong core of minerality; there is also a touch of exotic fruit on the palate, but the line and length suggest great longevity. Screwcap.11.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2025 James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
