After acquiring the farm next door, we found some of the most pristine (and old) chardonnay vineyards. Careful handling in the cellar, whole bunch pressing and fermentation with a bunch of selected yeast strains delivered a beautiful and rich yet fresh wine. Carefully monitored lees contact (sur lie) for 4 months added depth of flavour and character to this elegant wine.
Winemaker’s notes:
A fresh and zesty style of wine, packed with winter melon flavours, apricot nuances and a citrus aftertaste. The palate is silky and smooth, with great balance of fruit and finesse. Drink now or within the next 2 years.
Food pairing:
Pair with fresh pasta with green peppers, ham, and a light creamy herb sauce. Or open a bottle with friends, whilst sitting around the pool.
