Vintage: 2007

Chardonnay 44%, Sauvignon Blanc 32%, Semillon 13%, Roussanne 11%.

In 1833 John Catto left his native Scotland to seek his fortune in the new colony of Australia. He settled near what would become Bendigo, calling his new home Memsie after the village from where he had come, and planted a vineyard on clay soil rich with limestones. Memsie now produces delicious, round, full flavoured wines perfect for immediate consumption.

Soil is deep ripped before planting. Vines are spaced at approx one metre, with around 20 buds per vine, and hedged trellised, exposing the grapes to the sun to achieve maximum ripeness. They are cane pruned one year in four followed by three years of spur pruning. All vines are irrigated from the nearby Loddon river with ground level mini sprays. White wine grapes are planted lighter, well drained soils.

Winemakers Tasting Note

Golden straw in colour with brilliant clarity. The palate has a veritable fruit salad of flavours with hints of apple, melon and pear combining with cashew and honey to produce a smooth, rich and viscous mouth feel.

The wine has a clean, persistent and well defined finish balanced with some tantalizing acidity.

Ready to drink now to 2009. Memsie wines are great with a variety of foods.

Try this as an aperitif or with a wide range of white meats and seafood.
