In 1906, Sidney Wilcox built the estate homestead, Mulyoulpko (meaning “home by the water”), where he lived while farming the local land and streams, sending the vegetables and fish to the city restaurants and markets. Made specifically to pair with food, these wines are opulent in style and seamlessly balanced for fine dining. This unique blend of Semillon, Riesling, and Chardonnay is co-harvested and co-fermented in the classic field blend tradition. The 2023 vintage was cooler than average, allowing slow ripening and vibrant flavours. The wine shows light golden hues with aromas of pineapple, lemon, and sherbet. On the palate, guava, passionfruit, and nectarine combine with crisp acidity and a sherbet-like texture, finishing clean and refreshing.
