The bright fruit and elegant, fine structures characteristic of Whites from the 2017 vintage are absolutely on display here. Heightened citrus zest, crunchy nashi pear and ginger spice characters
are joined by tropical fruit and cut straw notes on a nose and palate of wonderful complexity.
An impressive ‘1927 Vines’ release with a distinctive mineral edge and penetrating steely acidity providing support for long-term cellaring.

"Fresh notes of lime marmalade, with notes of white flowers, mango, pear and vanilla. Citrusy on the palate, delicate and fine. 94 Points"
Decanter World Wine Awards, UK | June 2025

"Stone fruits and citrus, baked lemon, layers of freshness, aromatic intensity. Delicate honey and slightly racy mouth-feel and voluptuous texture, lots of potential to develop positively. 91 Points"

"1927 Vines is the equivalent of a bottle-aged Hunter Semillon, albeit with Marsanne.
It's ground-breaking in style, showcasing the grape in a different light. Herbals and florals to the fore on the bouquet, penetrating and lifted. High acidity is not a strength of the grape but picked early it's bracing and crunchy against a background of quince, green apple, grilled grapefruit and lemon zest. Still young and coiled tight, give it time."

VINTAGE 2017
After many years of dry winters we received average to above average rains through the 2016 winter and spring. The grapevines responded, growing vivid green canopies and setting good crop levels.
A temperamental spring saw up and down temperatures and there were many ‘four seasons in a day’ events, and warmish rainy days. The latter caused anxiety for our vineyard managers, with the potential for mildew to develop. However good management and diligent monitoring allowed us to keep the vineyard disease free. 
Summer seemed transient but we did have three balmy weeks through March with ripening continuing at a steady pace. The fine, albeit slightly cooler, weather lingered on in April and harvest continued steadily with very few issues but thankful that the weather did hold. 
Vintage 2017 will be remembered as having a traditional late start with the very even and steady ripening resulting in distinct varietal flavours with bright fruit and elegant, fine structures
