Winemaker's Notes
Zesty, fresh green apple, pear and lemon carry through this wine. Softer honeycomb, grenadine, floral, grassy and mineral notes embellish the nose while grapefruit, lime, quince and brioche garnish the palate. A faint trace of vanilla weaves through a tingly, cleansing finish.
After whole-cluster pressing, the juice finished primary fermentation in stainless steel. The majority (68%) of the wine settled and aged on the lees in a stainless-steel tank, while 20% rested in steel barrels and 12% aged in neutral French oak. The finished wine was blended in June 2021 and bottled two months later.
At the time of bottling, alcohol measured 12.5%, residual sugar 1 grams per litre, titratable acidity 7.1 grams per litre and pH 3.24.
Dry: 2.5 g/L residual sugar
This vintage will drink well through 2025.
