HANDCRAFTED COOL-CLIMATE WINES
Deep straw in colour. Aromas of white peach and pear are interlaced with a sweet nougat undercurrent. Multilayered and complimented with attractive oak spic. The palate is crisp and creamy, with prominent white stone fruit and intense length. Time i bottle has allowed for lovely integration of oak. Will continue to age beautifully.
Production Notes
Handpicked mid-February, the fruit was whole bunch pressed. Juice was treated oxidatively and filled to barrel with full juice solids for fermentation with selected yeast. Partial malolactic fermentation was allowed before adding sulphur. The wine was then matured on lees with occasional stirring in a combination of new and seasoned French hogsheads – 25 % new oak, before blending and clarification. Bottled January 2022.
