Wine Description
The fruit was chilled and pressed off skins after 8 hours of skin contact with the free run portion going to a stainless steel tank and inoculated with a natural yeast for fermentation. The pressings were then barrelled down after settling, to provide extra texture and weight. Maturation in these vessels was for three months, prior to being lightly fined, filtered and then bottled to preserve the aromatics and freshness of this wine. In a glass this wine presents with a very pale straw / copper colour. On the
nose it displays an orchard fruit dominance with gentle citrus aromatics. The
palate expresses fresh pear and honeysuckle characters and has a lasting
mouthfeel.

Winemaker's Bio
Livia Maiorana and Mijan Patterson embarked on an experience-gathering world wine trip in 2013, taking in vintages in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys, Okanagan Valley (Canada), South of France, Tuscany and Sicily. That trip crystallised a desire for their own label based in Margaret River that knit together the approaches they had seen to viticulture and winemaking, as well as the cultural connection with winegrowing. Livia Maiorana has a degree in both organic chemistry and engineering, while Mijan Patterson is a graphic designer. While Maiorana takes the lead in the winery and Patterson in the vineyard, both are deeply engaged across both spheres.
