Tasting Notes
Aroma
It erupts with aromas
of lush ripe passionfruit, citrus & stone fruits on the nose.
Palate
The palate shows moist grapefruits, lime pie and lychee's with a long
textured finish and a delicate mineral edge. With this wine I do not
want to play in the herbal, cat-pee on a gooseberry bush, or
even the ‘I’ve just mowed the lawn’, sweaty man’s armpit
style, rather I have made a wine with a balanced
palate exhibiting a strong varietal style with
fresh restrained acidity and elegance.
Vinification
The fruit is picked when there is an optimal balance between
acidity and flavour, often a very tight window with
Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are placed into the
press with a small proportion of whole
bunches and stalks.
The juice is cold settled overnight , with a small proportion
decanted into French Oak barrels for wild ferment.
The wine once dry, is left on lees for several
days and Battonaged to further
enhance the textured finish.
Food Matching
With the savoury edge and gentle textured finish, this wine will
accompany a Seafood Platter with freshly cooked prawns
and seared scallops in Pernod and tarragon butter,
Hot Days, warm nights, cool music and a
gentle breeze.
