TASTING NOTES

A pale gold colour with rich aromas of white peach, cashew and vanilla. Fully dry, vibrant peach and an oily texture on the palette with nutty and floral notes.

The fruit was handpicked then whole bunch pressed. After settling it was racked to barrel. 100% of the juice was barrel fermented. 20 % new French oak with the balance one to three years old. A mixture of wild and inoculated ferments. A considerable proportion of the barrels went through malolactic fermentation. It was in barrel for 9 months.
