Handpicked and whole bunch pressed in a pneumatic press. Cold settled for 16 hours, racked off its heavy lees before inoculating with neutral yeast strains. Temperature controlled fermentation at 14-16ºC for 16-20 days. Aged on its lees for 6 month with occasional stirring. Clarified and filtered before bottling in late spring.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant pale lemon colour. Intense aromas of peaches, white flowers, stony minerals and a hint of fresh sea breeze. The palate offers an energetic combination of steely acidity with charming peachy fruit and stony minerals. It finishes clean with a mouth watering acidity and long complex persistency.
