The Estate has been producing a Noble Taminga for over ten years and the aim is to capture the exotic fruit flavours of this variety, without too much over-riding botrytis character.

Description
Unlike many Australian sweet white styles, the Noble Taminga is very much a 'fruit drive' wine without dominating botrytis characters or excessive sweetness. This is one of the best Tamingas we have made to date and shows excellent fruit and balanced sweetness. The wine displays lifted citrus and apricot aromas with luscious sweetness and balanced acidity.

The Grapes
This exciting variety was developed by the CSIRO at Merbein by cross breeding three different varieties - Riesling, Farana (a Spanish variety) and Traminer.

The Harvest
The season was very mild with the Taminga maturing late. One half of the grapes were harvested on the 23rd May, with moderate botrytis, and the balance harvested on the 12th June, with a fairly heavy amount of infection.

The Winemaking
After harvesting the grapes were de-stemmed, crushed and pressed. The juice was cold settled to clarify then fermented with a neutral yeast until the fermentation stopped at 6.5º The finished wine was allowed to settle and bottled without any wood maturation.
