NOTES
The Kooyong vineyard and winery are located at Tuerong on the northern end of the Mornington Peninsula, 80km south of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In 1995, Kooyong was established on a gently undulating 93 hectare property neighbouring Devilbend Reserve, home to many native water birds. The Kooyong name means 'where the wild fowl gather’. Compared with more southerly vineyards on the Mornington Peninsula, Kooyong experiences a warmer, drier climate, and the light, sandy clay soil is also less vigorous than the more typical rich loam of the region. The winemaker is Sandro Mosele.
TASTING NOTES
Vibrant pale straw colour with a tinge of green; a bouquet of subtle aromas of grapefruit, white peach, and orange blossom leads to a palate brimming with grapefruit mingling with lemon barley, brioche, and honeydew melon
flavours. The palate mixes a thickness of texture with crisp acidity. With careful cellaring, this wine has good potential for ageing.
REVIEWS
Pale colour, green hue; tightly wound citrus fruit, with an attractive mineral complexity; the palate is very fine and focused and drives seamlessly from start to finish; offers crisp acidity and plenty of texture on the long and even finish. Cork. 13% alc. Rating 93 Drink 2012, James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2010
