The Wine:
Grown in very dry sandy foothills, it’s not quite a mono-varietal white – there’s a dash of Gewurztraminer in there. Low-cropped fruit, with small berries and natural concentration is picked as late as possible to enhance skin ripeness; preferencing phenolics to acidity for mouthfeel and structure. The next step - skin contact oxidative ageing - is quite subtle, as with all inputs in this beautifully balanced wine: there’s only a week or so on skins before a few months of ageing in stainless, at which point some pressings are added back in for further textural development.
