Hand harvested on 4 April 2024. Fruit was whole bunch pressed and allowed to settle before being racked to French oak Barriques. (approximately ten percent new).
The barrels were then allowed to begin fermentation using wild yeast and a small percentage inoculated with cultured yeast to add complexity. Fermentation lasted several weeks and the wine was then warmed and began malolactic fermentation.
Once malolactic fermentation was complete the wine was sulphured and allowed to mature in barrel on its yeast lees to add complexity and intensity. The wine was then racked from barrel, blended, heat and cold stabilised, sterile filtered and then bottled on the 27th February 2025.
Aromas of white stone fruit intertwined with subtle vanilla and caramel notes introduce a palate of focused fruit intensity, showcasing nectarine and citrus characters that gradually build and linger. Fine acidity and a long, balanced, mineral driven finish complete the wine’s elegant profile.
