WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Light straw in color, the wine offers a superb aromatic profile and palate complexity of apple, pear, nectarine, lime, mineral, petrol, spring flowers, and a hint of tropical fruits. Made in a dry, lees influenced style with outstanding concentration, crispness, and laser-like focus. The wine’s long finish echoes a strong sense of minerality and citrus. The wine should evolve for several years and drink well for at least a 6-8 years.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

The clusters were destemmed and lightly crushed and the juice remained on the skins for 10-12 hours. The wine was barrel fermented partially in neutral oak barrels and stainless-steel barrels. No malolactic fermentation. The wine was aged on the lees for 20 months with occasional batonnage initially. The wine was not racked until bottling and no fining agents were employed. The wine was very lightly filtered to capture any remaining lees.
