Description
Fruit is encouraged to ripe evenly, and picked when flavours are in the citrus / peach / mineral spectrum. The winemaking is simple: handpicked fruit is very gently pressed to a maximum yield of 550 L/ tonne, then sent directly to barrel on full solids for fermentation. Fermentation and MLF are indigenous. The wine spends 10 months in 25% new oak; with a mix of puncheons and barriques being used.
