Inspired by the great white wines of the Rhône Valley yet unmistakably Australian in its clarity and poise, Plexus showcases John Duval’s mastery of blending and restraint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eVineyard and Winemaking\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eFruit is sourced from selected South Australian vineyards well suited to Rhône varieties, delivering both ripeness and natural acidity. Each variety was harvested and fermented separately to preserve individual character. Gentle handling and a measured period on fine lees built texture and complexity, with minimal oak influence ensuring freshness and varietal purity. The final blend highlights harmony and finesse rather than weight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eAromatic layers of pear, white peach, and apricot are lifted by notes of honeysuckle, citrus blossom, and subtle spice. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, offering stone fruit and almond-like savoury notes supported by balanced acidity. A long, composed finish reveals gentle phenolic grip and a lingering mineral edge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eStyle and Character\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eElegant and expressive, Plexus balances fragrance with structure, delivering a wine that is both immediately appealing and quietly complex. It reflects John Duval’s refined approach to Rhône varieties — nuanced, food-friendly, and built on harmony rather than power.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eCellaring and Pairing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eEnjoy now for its vibrancy and aromatic lift, or cellar for 6–8 years to develop additional savoury and honeyed complexity.
