Fresh, bright and full of zest. Pale straw with lively green edges. Up front citrus, stone fruits and tropical notes balanced by a hint of oak.
2013 saw low rainfall in spring with January being quite dry and warm. The dry weather allowed fruit to reach optimum ripeness with good balance of acidity and flavour. Some light showers fell in late February which helped to freshen the fruit.
Vintage started later then 2012 but finished with a flurry with all whites and reds harvested by the end of March. Premium parcels of local fruit were picked at peak flavour ripeness showing concentrated varietal characters. Fruit was gently pressed, naturally settled, and racked to fermentation.
Parcels were fermented separately in stainless steel with selected components on French and American oak which remained on yeast lees for up to two weeks prior to blending to enhance the texture and mid palate weight.
