Golden straw with a pale green hue. The nose shows lifted floral and citrus notes with integrated white peach and nectarine. Hints of savoury oak spice lifts the nose and gives complexity allure. On the palate there is ripe stone fruit characters, fresh nectarine with integrated fig and citrus notes. Savoury oak rounds out the palate with gentle textural tannins balancing the creamy soft finish from the lees contact. Well structured with balanced acidity, generous richness and great persistence.
Harvested in the early hours of the morning by machine and destemmed without crushing to airbag press. The wine is then partially clarified before 25% being transferred to older French oak for ferment and the remaining 75% clarified and fermented in stainless steel. MLF was completed on the oak portion with the wine then left on lees for 6 months with lees stirring before been aged for another four months before being bottled.
