Altus Rise ‘Wildlight’ SBS 2023

Tasting Notes

Colour:
Brilliant pale straw with a light, glinting hue.

Aromatics:
Lemongrass, grapefruit and honeydew melon leap from the glass, with subtle herbal notes in the background.

Palate:
Fresh limes, sweet spice and juicy tropical fruits fill the palate. A line of flinty, crunchy acidity gives focus and tension, carrying those citrus and tropical notes through to a long, refreshing finish.

Finish:
Clean, zesty and mineral with lingering lime and gentle spice.

Vintage Snapshot 2023

The 2023 season in Margaret River was extended but very rewarding. Dry, stable weather with minimal disease pressure allowed for gentle, even ripening and excellent flavour development. Warm days and cool evenings helped retain natural acidity, ideal for bright, aromatic white blends.

Food Pairing Suggestions 🍽️

• Cheese boards with soft goat cheese and tangy cheddar

• Roast pumpkin risotto with sage and parmesan

• Fish and chips at the beach with plenty of lemon

• Grilled vegetable skewers with herb oil

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
