Winemaking and Maturation
Hand-picked grapes are whole-bunch pressed into second-fill French oak barrels. Selected yeast strains are used for fermentation, and regular battonage (lees stirring) is done every month until final blending. 85% Barrel (50 % new oak) French 225 L barrels / 15 % Concrete egg for 9 months.
Tasting Notes
Straw colour with a hint of green—youthful and vibrant. Attractive nose showing ripe citrus and orange peel leading to hints of vanilla spice oak and toasted brioche. Citrus peel on the palate has a good weight and a lightly buttery texture. The wine is balanced with fresh acid and minerality, with persistent lemon/lime on the finish.
