The Wine: After the hard work was done in the vineyard this season, the fine weather in March allowed us to pick excellent fruit, close to perfection. Individual vineyards and blocks were kept as separate as possible in the winery. The juice was split quickly from the skins and lightly clarified before a low-and-slow fermentation. The wines rested for 6-8 weeks before blending and bottling in July 2022. No animal products were used, creating a vegan and carnivore friendly wine.
Preserved citrus, elderflower, subtle tropical fruit and a touch of Jalapeño create enticing aromatics. Beautiful intensity of flavour from start to finish, with crisp and juicy minerality, medium fruit weight and threaded together with a fine line of texture. A reflection of excellent vineyards and winemaking style in a challenging season.
