Description
Produced from a small vineyard up on the mountain on well-drained and exposed shale ridge at 350m above sea level. The wine is fermented with the wild/indigenous yeasts in a stainless steel tank. The wine has a fresh, zesty entry with sweet fruit and a gentle waxy texture on the mid palate, offset by a limey acid bringing freshness and length.
Fermentation: The grapes are destemmed and very gently pressed (450 – 500 litres per ton recovery). The juice is allowed to settle roughly overnight before fermentation is allowed to proceed uninoculated in a stainless-steel tank. The wine is racked and bottled straight after alcoholic fermentation.
Colour: Pale gold
Nose: Grapefruit, lime zest, apricots, orange blossom and a wet shale minerality.
Palate: Fresh fruit driven entry with a bright, limey acidity which is tamed by the varietals typical viscosity.
