Embark on a journey of cool climate finesse delivered with a spectacle of citrus and tropical fruit. All these nuances are delicately introduced as the wine warms up bringing ginger, hazelnut, lemon-curd, loquat, and lemon verbena to the fore. Great tension conveys its superb longevity that will bring more layers of aromas to life with age.

Picked at optimal ripeness, the grapes were hand-sorted and a whole bunch pressed. After settling out some solids, the juice was transferred to barrel at the desired turbidity levels. Indigenous yeast strains were allowed for alcoholic fermentation to enhance aromatics and mouthfeel. Batonaged for the first two months, the wine was left to mature on its lees for the entire maturation period. To preserve freshness and vibrant fruit, it didn’t undergo secondary malolactic fermentation.
