The wine has a vibrant light straw colour with a brilliant pale green edge that catches the light. There is an appealing mix of fresh Granny Smith apple, delicate black currant leaf and lime blossom perfume on the nose. The wine enters the palate with concentrated flavours which follow through from the nose. The finish is refreshing and crisp with a slight oyster shell salinity that makes it quite moreish.

The grapes are de-stemmed, crushed and pumped via mash cooler directly into our inert (oxygen free) press. Free-run and press juices were separated and settled overnight before being racked off the heavy lees and inoculated for fermentation with selected wine yeasts. Fermentation is controlled at 15 degrees Celsius in stainless steel tanks. 5 % of the wine fermented in barrel. After fermentation the wine was blended, stabilised and bottled in July 2022.
