CAREY GULLY, PICCADILLY VALLEY – ADELAIDE HILLS

93 points – Mike Bennie, Halliday Wine Companion

The Wine
A nose of lime-zest and vanilla with light flint. The palate has a citrus mineral line with yellow peach that sits on a buttery-biscuit-base. It has lingering weight and power with driving natural acidity.  

Drinking beautifully at release, it will continue to develop with bottle age and careful cellaring.
Enjoy now or drink/cellar to 2030.
Suggested serving temperature 10-14C.
