Tasting Notes
Primarily from a 1996 planting, mixed clay over limestone soils. Organically farmed with certification from vintage 2021 onwards.
A third of the fruit was destemmed and lightly crushed before fermentation on skins for one week, finishing in older puncheons. A third was whole bunch pressed to puncheons of which 10% was new, and the remainder was whole bunch pressed to tank.
Average timing for harvest has captured the natural acidity and varietal tension from this warm year. Some hint of the puncheons, tropical varietal markers like passionfruit and an array of spice on the nose. Full and yet dry, breadth from the skins, texture from the lees contact and refreshing citrus acid on the palate.
