- Whole bunches were pressed and then fermented partly in stainless steel tanks, partly in barrels (15% new oak). After fermentation both lots remained in their vessels on fine lees for further maturation to add subtle overtones and complexity.

Aromas of grape flowers, apple and pear combine with flavors of ripe apricot and peach to produce a sleek, intense dry wine with a long, refreshing finish. This wine is delicious as an aperitif, ideal with oysters, seafood and white meats, but partners equally well with spicy dishes and fried foods. Versatile is the word!

“A lithe, enticing white, with lovely wafts of minerally petrol and slate, plus flavors of melon, raspberry, blood orange peel, sea salt and cured tobacco. Long and mouthwatering through the well-spiced finish.”
— Olivia Nolan, 2024
