John Duval Plexus White 2023 is a blend from the Barossa Valley, combining fruit from elevated Eden Valley vineyards on sandy loam and schist soils. The season’s mild conditions yielded grapes of fine aromatic detail and balanced acidity. Aromas of white peach, lemon curd and jasmine are underpinned by hints of almond and wet stone. The palate is supple and textured, its rounded mid-palate framed by a mineral edge and lively freshness. Subtle oak adds depth without overt weight. The finish is clean and persistent, showing focus, tension and the clarity typical of cool Barossa fruit.
