Wine Summary Image

This wine is inspired by an ancient and distinctive style made from the Savagnin Blanc grape variety traditionally grown in the Jura region of France where the wines is most famously known as vin jaune. Here the wine is made by a similar process to that of Sherry, developing its unique aromas and flavours in barrel and under a strain of yeast known as flor. These wines can be quite pungent, the result of between 3 and 5 years under the flor yeast.

Here the flor yeast which sits on the surface of the wine grows as a thin film or ‘voile’ – veil in English.

In order to capture the delicate aromas and flavours of the Savagnin Blanc variety we have aged this wine in one year old French barriques for 8 months under flor.

Winery Tasting Notes

Aroma & Palate

At first, on the nose, is an overall nutty aroma reminiscent of macadamias. With further investigation there is mixed peel and citrus liqueur, freshly cut green grass, tangy apricots and hints of shortbread.

On the palate citrus dances across the tongue. There are lovely complex flavours including cumquat marmalade, lemon polenta cake and glimpses of apricot kernels.

This wine is not filtered and may appear a little cloudy.

Food Matching

Served chilled these wines are prefect aperitifs and a wonderful accompaniment to fresh oysters or sashimi.

Winery Profile

Kangarilla Road winery is a partnership between Kevin and Helen O’Brien. While the wines show the generosity of the McLaren Vale region, they also have a unique Kangarilla Road style, the white wines fragrant and aromatic and the reds an elegant expression of their variety. The Kangarilla Road philosophy remains unchanged: “To produce wines that we enjoy drinking – wines that can be enjoyed with or without food and especially with friends.”
