On the nose, lovely aromas of citrus zest and white florals are complemented by subtle notes of almond meal and wet river stones. The entry to the palate is tightly focused, showing juicy grapefruit, lime zest, and greengage plum. The mid palate builds in richness and texture before a spark of bright acidity draws off towards a refreshing finish.

Handpicked and whole bunch pressed into stainless steel tank for a brief period of settling before being roughly racked to oak after 12 hours to maintain a higher turbidity and enhance interest on the nose. Fermentation initially occurred naturally in barrel before the addition of a commercial yeast to ensure the ferment reached dryness. Malolactic fermentation took place during the course of the 9 months the wine spent in barrel on full yeast lees, building palate weight and texture.

Food Pairing: Sage and Dijon crusted pork fillet.
