Pale green tinges hint at the vibrant acidity to come. Aromas of preserved lime, dried rose petal, and pear tantalize the senses, while hints of Cox's Orange Pippin apple add a touch of complexity. The palate is clean and clear, with juicy flavours that dance across the tongue. Bright acidity and a long finish make this wine a delight to drink.
Winemakers Notes
After selective picking, the fruit is gently bag pressed and cold settled for 48 hours. Post racking, the juice is inoculated with a neutral yeast and fermented at cool temperatures for around three weeks. After the ferment has been stopped at the required sugar level, the wine spends around 6-8 weeks on lees before being prepared for bottling.
