Great to see the Wild Duck wines back in the UK after many years. Liam Anderson has taken over the winemaking from his father David 'Duck' Andereson and the wines have a bit more finesse and a lighter touch. This is a raelly interesting, textural white, rich yet with good acidity.
"37/32/26/5% roussanne/marsanne/grenache blanc/viognier; fermented and matured for six months in large 2000L French oak foudre and puncheons on full yeast lees. Rhône Valley white grape varieties are a natural fit in Heathcote, none better than a four-way blend that brings qualities from each grape to the table. Honeysuckle, acacia, citrus, sweet apple and apricot gather and meld beautifully. The palate is built on a nicely concentrated yet taut base, waxy in texture, with added almond and spice notes. Finishes ripe and mighty tasty." 92 pts Jeni Port Halliday Wine Companion
