This is Wally White, where Old World tradition gets a little Kangaroo Island sunshine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the bottle is Jacques Lurton, a Bordeaux-born winemaker who has spent decades exploring what happens when classic French grape varieties find new homes around the world. And Sémillon, one of Bordeaux's most celebrated white grapes, was always going to be an interesting one to bring along.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWally White brings together the richness of traditional French winemaking with the freshness of Kangaroo Island's cool maritime climate. But here's the clever bit: Jacques harvests the grapes twice. An early picking captures bright acidity, while a later harvest brings extra richness and texture. Two harvests, one beautifully balanced wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are hand-picked, gently pressed and fermented in large French oak barrels. Then comes two years of ageing, with regular stirring during the first four months to build that gorgeous creamy texture. It's a patient process, and you can certainly taste the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003eFresh lemon rind, juicy white peach and rich lemon curd, with delicate vanilla and a little smoky oak.

Close planting to restrict yields and increase concentration, fermentation in concrete tanks and old-fashioned basket pressing, plus quality fine-grained French oak, all combine to produce wines with great structure and longevity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Humble Grape","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":59013845647734,"sku":null,"price":49.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 6 x 750ml","offer_id":59013845680502,"sku":null,"price":296.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Case of 12 x 750ml","offer_id":59013845713270,"sku":null,"price":592.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2559\/9452\/files\/Wallywhite.png?v=1792139918","url":"https:\/\/shop.humblegrape.co.uk\/products\/the-islander-estate-vineyards-wally-white-2023-kangaroo-island-australia","provider":"Humble Grape","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
