Finesse combined with pillowy fruit weight; this is a wine that is fine boned with green apple crunch and grapefruit dominating its youth. An energy drives the palate with a pithy interest and texture on the back palate. Supported by an extremely fine-grained oak tannin framework which lingers on the finish.
Hand harvested grapes placed in a chiller overnight before whole bunch pressing which gives us very high quality juice. Fermentation in French oak barrels; a combination of 228 L barriques and some 500 L puncheons, 30% new oak. Both wild yeasts and cultured yeast were allowed to carry out the fermentation offering complexity and a hint of wet stone. Natural acidity was retained by inhibiting malolactic fermentation. Maturation for 10 months in our cool underground cellar before blending and bottling.
