100% estate grown and certified organic, the grapes are carefully hand harvested in the cool of the morning and sent straight to the winery where they are destemmed, crushed and gently pressed. The free-run juice is isolated and settled prior to fermenting in French oak barriques, one-third of which are new. Only 15 barrels were made.
Each barrel is stirred weekly for three months then left on gross lees for a total of 9 months. Then in November Stephanie conducts a series of tastings to determine the final blend. Once assembled it is bottled without fining, so it is not only produced organically, but also suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Tasting Notes
Light white gold. Garden herbs and apple over lightly toasty, spiced oak. Bright and tight, crisp and textured, this has layers of fruit and gentle oak. Citrus peel and green apple, baked pear and hazelnut praline even, with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Super-stylish, flavoursome yet not heavy. Perfect with roast or grilled poultry.
Will cellar easily to 10 or more years.
