Tasting Notes
Aroma
Intense and vibrant fruit character aromatics mingle with citrus and spice.
Appearance
A textural edge provides a food friendly aspect, and cinnamon and nutmeg spice complement the nashi pear and stone fruit flavours.
Palate
A textural edge provides a food friendly aspect, and cinnamon and nutmeg spice complement the nashi pear and stone fruit flavours.
Vinification
The fruit was hand-picked and whole bunch pressed. 60% of the juice was fermented in stainless steel to retain freshness and varietal character with the balance being fermented in one new Austrian oak hogshead and seasoned French oak barriques. A slow and cool ferment occurred and once complete the wine remained on its full lees with battonage until bottling in December 2024.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now but will cellar well over the next 5 to 8 years.
Food Matching
Bouillabaisse matches the body and spicy notes of this wine. Comté will not overwhelm the wine and the spice characters of the wine add complexity to the match.
