PALATE

A focused palate of pear, citrus & white peach blend into a fresh, dry finish.

VINTAGE

Some challenging weather conditions around flowering reduced the fruit set and resulting yields. Although temperatures across the ripening period were slightly higher than average the day time temperatures were cooler. This allowed for an extended ripening period and together with low yields gives the wine great minerality drive and finesse while maintaining the acidity.

WINEMAKING

Whole bunch pressed and allowed to settle overnight, then fermented cool in stainless steel tank to preserve the fine fruit aromas. Fermented to complete dryness, then prepared for bottling in late July, so the fresh fruit drive of the wine was preserved with the precise, minerally acidity.
