Description
Wine Winemaking: Hand picked and whole bunch pressed to tank for 24 hours of settling prior to eighteen months fermentation and aging in mostly older French Oak barrels. 100% natural ferment. Bottled without fining and only minimal filtration.
Colour: Pale straw in colour.
Aroma: Cold smoke and flinty gravels lead into a subdued nose of ripe grapefruit, pears and honeydew melon.
Palate: A focussed and linear backbone of acidity carries ripe citrus notes and subtle smoky complex characters. Extended elevage on lees has imparted hallmark cashew and mealy flavours and chalky textures.
Cellaring: Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years.
