Mealy aromatics, subtle toasty oak notes with nectarine, hints of citrus and custard. A textured palate with a powerful presence. Flavours of stone fruit, oatmeal, and vanilla bean.

Fruit sourced from three sites and are incorporated into this wine. Clones 95 (60%) and Mendoza (40%) where used.

No sulphur was added to the juices at the point of extraction which then were fermented spontaneously in a combination of seasoned French oak (90%) and stainless steel (10%). All components underwent malolactic fermentation and were aged on full ferment lees for 10months. Overall, about 20% of the wine saw new oak in 500L puncheon format.

Food Pairing: All kinds of cheeses, white meats and rich seafood such as koura (crayfish) and smoked warehou.
