The Details

Tasting Note Straw coloured with a lifted nose of ripe nectarines, apricots, brioche, and toasted hazelnuts with a hint of flinty complexity. The palate displays stone fruits and honeysuckle along with a nutty complexity from the natural ferments. The palate has good depth and concentration with a refreshingly long finish. This wine has a tight mineral structure and will develop a creamy texture as it matures.
Best Enjoyed With Delicious with leek, mushroom & mustard chicken with herby cauliflower rice.
Treatment Handpicked grapes were chilled overnight before gentle pressing direct to barrel without settling. The wine was entirely barrelled fermented in French oak barriques (20% new) using indigenous yeast. A short period of lees stirring post ferment adds a textural element to the palate.
