Winemaking and Maturation
We pick these grapes early to ensure that the berries stay cool until they reach the cellar. Once the grapes are in the cellar, we destem and crush them gently. After letting the must settle in the tanks for up to two days, we rack off the juice and inoculate it to start fermentation. We ferment each batch separately to let the grapes develop their own unique aromas and flavour compounds. We can create a complex and diverse wine by applying this small-batch winemaking philosophy.
Tasting Notes
This wine is expressive and has an excellent balance between sweetness and acidity. The nose starts with some flint and khakibos and opens up to present fresh tangerine, passionfruit, melon, and gooseberry flavours that follow through on a creamy palate. The White Blend presents a bold combination of fruit and freshness that gives the wine excellent length and elegance.
