Bright straw yellow, star bright. Ripe summer fruit on the nose with floral notes. Soft, aromatic & rich on the palate, with good grapefruit acidity. Light toasty & biscuity flavours from the oak & the lees, with hints of cinnamon over grapefruit on the finish. Beautifully balanced. This rich dry white has been fermented in oak to give it a kiss of toasty richness that is balanced by crisp, fresh, citrus characters. A manual selection of grapes at their optimum point of ripeness. Once in the winery, the grapes are cold macerated for 6-8 hours to give more structure & flavour to the finished wine. The grapes are then lightly pressed & the juice transferred to new american oak casks for fermentation between 16
- 20°C. The young wine remains on its lees which are periodically stirred through the wine so that they remain in suspension. The wine is regularly tasted to assess its flavour evolution until the winemaker decides upon the optimum moment to rack & bottle it.
