Tasting Notes
Aroma
Aromatics of red apple and lemon curd.
Appearance
Pale straw colour in the glass.
Palate
A palate that is fresh and vibrant. A fine and consistent bead provides a great mouthfeel and length of palate.
Vinification
The fruit was pressed and transferred to neutral French oak barriques to ferment. Once ferment was complete the wine rested on it’s lees for five months to impart texture and additional flavour elements. The wine was transferred to tank for secondary ferment (Charmat) and was bottled in August 2021.
Cellaring Potential
Ready to drink now, but will cellar well over the next 3-5 years.
Food Matching
Fresh oysters are a perfect match - the crispness and light body of the wine cut through the richness of the oyster perfectly.
