Vinification
Fruit is hand picked and gently whole bunch pressed. Juice is run directly to tank and gravity fed to barrel. Fermentation occurs naturally in barrel. Following primary fermentation, maturation continues on lees for 10 months. Malolactic fermentation is not encouraged. A range of French oak coopers with 10-15% new barriques, are sourced to introduce oak complexity.
Tasting Notes
Colour is pale yellow with a green hue. Tight melon/grapefruit, spice and citrus aromas are apparent. The palate is tight and pure with great focused melon/grapefruit fruits and lees complexity. This wine has a great length of flavour showing match stick flintiness, creamy lees and high natural acidity freshening the finish. This is a tightly wound style ready to unwind over the medium to long term.
