Winemaking
Picked at first light, quickly delivered to the winery cold and immediately pressed to preserve fruit intensity. Destemmed and gently pressed. Must was fermented with QA23 yeast cold and long to ensure capture of pretty aromatics. The wine remained on lees for 3 months to develop mouthfeel and texture. Drink now for freshness or wait for complexity.
Bouquet
In the glass, the wine is brilliantly pale with a green-gold hue. Aromas of freshly cut lime, lemon blossom, and jasmine lift from the glass, layered with subtle notes of golden apple and crushed quartz gravel.
Palate
The palate is driven by vibrant citrus and a pure mineral edge. Lemon compote, key lime, yellow grapefruit and toffee apple dominate a prominent fruit profile, held together by a vibrant line of racy acidity. Spring blossom and an attractive array of sweet florals provide the wine with lift, backed up by hallmark mineral notes of wet stones and slate.
