Wine Description
White Nectarine. Guava. Snow Pea.Textured. Complex.
Fermentation and maturation was in old and new oak, foudre, and
concrete for 7 months, of which 20% was new oak. All parcels were left on full yeast lees in oak for 7 months
post fermentation and the wine was stirred regularly, then clarified, filtered and bottled in October 2022.
The overall emphasis is to maintain balance between the characteristics of the fruit and the oak, in order to best
express the elegance, complexity and finesse of this varietal whilst highlighting the terroir of the site and season
within which it was grown
