Winemaking

Fermentation in stainless tank at low temperature with natural yeasts to ensure the single site is expressed in the wine.

Oak Ageing

Tasting Note

An intensely aromatic nose of grapefruit, passionfruit, lime and ginger. The palate is crisp, textural and citrus laced followed by hints of lime cordial, grapefruit and lychee. Long and intense on the finish.
