Sourced from Paxton’s ‘Thomas Block’, this wine displaysfruit freshness and structure, highlighting the suitability of this site for the production of premium white varieties.
COLOUR: Pale straw with a tinge of pink.
AROMA: Subtle floral notes with fresh nashi pear, green apple, and lychee.
PALATE: Generous white peach and lychee, with a lovely creamy mid palate and a delicious mineral finish.
CELLARING: A fruit driven wine designed for drinking young, although careful cellaring will be rewarded.
VINIFICATION: The fruit was harvested at the perfect balance between flavour and acidity. We picked in the cool of the night to optimize quality. The grapes were whole berry pressed without crushing or destemming. The juice was handled with no sulfur added to break down the colour compounds. The juice was racked from the grape solids on the bottom of the tank and fermented at temperatures between 13-16°C in stainless steel to encapsulate fruit freshness. Once fermented, the wine lees were regularly mixed into suspension for a four week period with the aim of building complexity and texture into the wine. The wine was filtered and bottled early in its
life to capture the freshness of the variety.
