For this wine, the fruit was hand harvested and the bunches were whole bunch pressed using a precise pneumatic press. The juice was clarified and then fermented in French oak barriques with both wild and cultured yeasts. The barrels were lees-stirred on a regular basis, and progressed gently through malolactic fermentation in the spring before being blended, gently fined and bottled late in the summer.
Appearance – Bright straw yellow
Bouquet – Ripe, white peaches, apricots and hints of citrus.
Palate – Juicy and succulent with delicious fruity flavours, a very fine structure and a long elegant finish, cleansing the palate.
Cellaring – A wine to enjoy while fresh and forward, or as it continues to develop complexity over the next five years.
Serving temperature – Lightly chilled.
Recommended food accompaniments – Salmon, smoked and char-grilled food, spicy coconut pork and other roasted white meats
