The Details

Tasting Note The aroma is an alluring combination of mandarins and lemon with white peach, oyster shell, quince and flint. The palate is defined by delicate citrus fruit, complexed with a saline texture from exposure to the southern sea air and a finish that lingers.
Best Enjoyed With Chicken breasts poached on mint, cumin and allspice served with tabouleh and lemon yogurt. Farfalle pasta with mixed beans in a fennel based tomato sauce.
Treatment The grapes were handpicked and whole bunch pressed with the free run juice and pressings kept separately. After settling, the juice was placed into French oak puncheons and a ceramic egg for fermentation. Towards the end of this process, lees stirring was introduced and continued, bi-weekly for 3 months until most of the malolactic fermentation was completed. The wine was topped as required during the next 8 months prior to blending and bottling.

Accolades

It's delicate, refined, highly tensioned and firm
Very light bright yellow; the aromas are fresh and bright and youthful with intense lemon juice aromas and a trace of cucumber/green apple. It's delicate, refined, highly tensioned and firm with a hint of bitterness in the finish, elevated acidity and phenolic grip providing a full-stop at the finish. The fruit is doing most of the talking. I'd give it another year to fill out.
