Winemaking:

The grapes were harvested on October 24, 2025, then gently pressed immediately to extract the juice which was cold settled and carbon filtered to remove any colour bleed from skins. The clarified juice was then cool fermented, in stainless steel over a protracted 2 month fermentation before gentle bentonite fining and cold stabilization. After 4 months of ageing, in stainless steel, the wine was filtered and bottled.

Tasting Notes:

This wine is very pale lemon in colour with a nose of white raspberry, and white peach. The palate is creamy, yet bright resulting from a long, cool fermentation and shows nuances of blood orange and peach. The palate is medium full with a perfect balance of fruit, acidity and alcohol.
