A light coloured wine, but plenty of zip and zing! It's delicately floral, backed up by fresh lime, ripe pear and white peach. The taste is rich but fresh, with white grapefruit and some more peach. On the finish it turns savoury, with some herbaceous notes that mix with the acidity to be both mouth-watering and engaging. Delicious.

Cape Barren is a winery with a strong history and proven track record of making interesting wines that reflect their place. Established in 1999 in McLaren Vale, it has since spread its wings and now also makes from the neighbouring region of the Adelaide Hills. A mix of ancient vines (adding complexity and concentration) and younger plantings, of established varieties and up and comers, its range is ever-expanding and full of great value wines. Rob Dundon is the co-owner and head winemaker, steering the ship, and has a wealth of experience, not only in McLaren Vale, but also abroad. The name of the winery comes from the migration of one of the world's rarest geese, the Cape Barren Goose. Towards the end of each summer, they arrive in hordes from Kangaroo Island, flying into the vineyards searching for grain and grape seeds after harvest. Native to Australia, the birds are named after Cape Barren Island where the birds were first sighted centuries ago.
