Lucious aromas of lime, melon, quince and gooseberries are chiselled with hints of grapefruit and blood orange notes. Though expressive, the palate is tuned with a refined chalky texture, plenty of fruit weight and racy acidity. A flinty character persists to balance the creaminess, adding to the depth and character of this wine.

The grapes from our one-hectare vineyard, hand-picked in the cool morning and sorted at the cellar. The bunches were destemmed and crushed, followed by 8 hours of skin contact to extract delicate flavours. The juice was settled for 48 hours, racked and inoculated with a sequential inoculation of non-saccharomyces (Pichia kluyveri) and saccharomyces yeasts. Transferred to barrel halfway through fermentation, the wine matured on its lees for ten months to add texture and complexity.
