Tasting notes

A very aromatic fruit-driven wine. Very fragrant and perfumed showing a marriage of tropical and stonefruit characters. Simple, clean, unpretentious.

The palate is full and luscious. Lovely balance of fruit and acidity. Important to serve quite chilled to enhance the freshness/vibrancy. Elegant lingering finish.

Style notes

We named this wine after our winery dog. Gracie is a fresh, lively, unoaked, unpretentious little wine. Like Gracie our dog, Gracie the wine is a blend (of 2 of our white varieties, Chardonnay and Viognier). A simple but very aromatic fruit-driven wine where we have intentionally harnessed the more floral and aromatic spectrum of each of the varieties. More an aperitif style wine.
Hand-picked, clean grapes and gentle pressing means the wine is well set up for slow and elegant aging.
Estate bottled and hand-labelled.

Secret Sommelier's comments

This wine is aptly named after the fun-loving ‘rescue’ dog called Gracie. Her exact mix of breed is unknown, but certainly has the best bits of character from each. Like Gracie the dog, the wine is a blend. A rather unusual blend of Chardonnay and Viognier, which Tony has managed to get the best out of both varieties. Although reasonably aromatic, it’s perfect to drink on its own. A simple, refreshing combination of stone and tropical fruits. It is a quaffable wine which should be enjoyed leading up to the meal, so chill a few bottles to share amongst friends!
