Tasting note
Succulent, ripe nose of creamy vanilla and pineapples. Rounded and generous palate, offering ripe grapefruits and lemon rind. A judicious use of oak brings depth, texture and nutty characters and helps with the soft finish.
Viticulture
In the vineyard, there is a focus on maintaining the special characteristics and the soil microbes of the particular 'terroir'. Yields are controlled through winter pruning and debudding in spring. Maturity is optimized by manual intervention in the summer (stripping) to improve sunlight and the strength of the grapes
Vinification
The harvest is undertaken totally by hand and the grapes were harvested in excellent condition. After a gentle pressing in a pneumatic press, the wines are left to settle before the alcoholic and malolactic fermentation. The lees are stirred regularly, which adds to the overall complexity of the finished wine.
