Colour At release the wine has a very pale salmon pink colour.
NoseThere are restrained and subtle strawberry notes with hidden layers of complexity including hints of flint and floral notes.
PalateThis wine displays attractive savoury notes with subtle fruit, mineral and talc characters. The extremely gentle fruit handling along with the naturally occurring enzyme clarification process has resulted in an enticing wine that is both delicate in nature but also surprising in its generous layers of mouth-watering flavour. A tightly structured acid line provides structure and the finish is crisp and dry.
Winemaker NotesA process known as stabilage was utilised where the juice was allowed to clarify and settle on its own. The clear juice was then racked to a non-refrigerated tank and allowed to naturally warm back to 15 degrees C when it was then inoculated for fermentation. Primary fermentation was carried out at a cool 12 to 14 degrees C. Following fermentation, the wine was racked off lees, filtered and bottled.
