About the Wine
Hand harvested in 18kg crates. Crushed and de stemmed and left on skins to ferment for 2 weeks . One week of bunch downs and the second only wetting the cap for very gentle maceration. No pressing, we raise the tanks and extract the juice statically. Left to naturally cold settle over winter in stainless steel. Left on lees 7 months, bottled early spring. 1 year in bottle.
Tasting Notes
On the nose wild grasses, dried apricots, lily. On the pallet a rich texture with a saline acidity, crunchy but gentle tannins, fennel, pistachio, lemon peel.
Pairing Notes
Paired well with umami flavour, spicy dishes, salty meats, herbaceous sauces, delicate cheeses.
