Vineyards and Winemaking
White stonefruit flavours, with mineral notes imparted by the stony, alluvial soils vines are grown in. Predominantly clone 95, 15-year-old vines planted on greywacke soil.
The wine is barrel fermented at a warmer temperature in 225L French oak barrels which builds a really beautiful texture. A portion of the wine is then allowed to go through malolactic fermentation to add richness and roundness, complementing the fresh, bright acidity of the remaining portion. A selection of French barrels allowing us to bring out a subtle oak character while letting the fruit shine through.
Tasting notes
On the nose, look for notes of lemon, red apple, pear and flint.
On the palate, enjoy the rich, concentrated palate, with bright zest balancing the fruit sweetness. Ripe lemon and peach flavours, with grapefruit on the finish.
