Emblem Pecorino 2024, 750ml

Bouquet: Fresh, juicy nectarine, white peach and nashi pear greet the nose, followed by aromatic musk and honeydew melon notes—Fruity and refreshing.

Palate: The palate is light and crisp with a bright acidity. Flavours mirror the nose, with abundant stone fruits such as nectarine, white peach and pear dominate the palate. The mid-palate reveals a delicate creamy texture, resulting from 4 months of ageing on fine lees. Finish with lingering citrus notes and a subtle minerality that adds to the complexity.

Sourced from our Beresford Estate Vineyard at Blewitt Springs. Pecorino ripened slowly during the harvest and then quickly showed lovely fruit flavours. We were able to select the best-tasting rows, harvest the grapes in the cool of the morning & gently extract the juice.

The fruit was harvested in the cool of the early morning, chilled and pressed gently, with 25% whole bunch pressed adding texture and palate weight. Various yeast strains were used including non-saccharomyces and mixed cultures. The clean juice was fermented below 18 degrees to preserve lifted aromas and crisper stone fruit flavours. The wine spent 4 months on light yeast lees with occasional lees stirring to contribute to a textural, creamy mouthfeel. Fined with vegetal protein. Vegan friendly.
