Pale-yellow in colour with gentle oak spices, nutmeg and orange pieces. Plenty to the palate with a crisp, clean acidity, serious wine, rich and gentle in texture yet delicate with plenty of orange, and apricot slices and yellow apple on the finish.

Oak Spice

The fruit was whole bunch pressed, with a period of skin contact. Fermentation was started in stainless steel with ambient yeast. The fermenting juice was racked into a selection of French Barrique, followed by a period of bâtonnage to bolster the wine’s mid-palate. Ten months of barrel maturation on the fine lees fleshed out the wine and added richness. Prior to bottling, the wine was lightly filtered to preserve its integrity.
