Swan Valley Feature Week
Sittella Museum Release Silk 2016, Swan Valley, AUD $36
This blend of chenin blanc, chardonnay and verdelho is a great illustration of how Swan Valley dry whites from these grape varieties can richly reward ageing.
Bright light-mid yellow colour, youthful for its years—as is the bouquet, which is tremendously complex and alluring, with lightly browned, buttered toast and dried floral nuances, plus a lick of honey. It’s intense and quite powerful but also refreshing and alive: a beautiful middle-aged dry white. (Screwcap)
