Winemaker Notes
The fruit was hand harvested and pressed in small batches before it was left to settle overnight. French oak barrels (500 litre puncheons) were used for fermentation (no malolactic). All wild ferments. The wine was aged on yeast lees for 10 months, and bottled in December 2018.
Tasting Notes
Bright intense pale straw colour. Lifted aromas of clean citrus notes, stone fruit and a subtle hint of spicy French oak. A tightly focused palate, with lovely balance and a long, complex finish.
