- Guava, gunflint and lime blossom are elegantly framed by restrained oak use. There is terrific weight to the palate - it is a voluptuous wine with a marvellous shape and brilliant focus. Long, intricate, sophisticated and somewhat serious. However severe it may be - it is also alluring and flirtatious.
Grapes are pressed on gentle cycle followed by 24-48 hour settling. Fermentation is made using 100% wild yeast with a high solids proportion in French oak barriques, 15% new, medium toast for 10 months on full lees with monthly battonage until completion of natural malolactic (100%), followed by 2 months on fine lees in stainless steel tank.
