INFO: Harvesting takes place in the cool of the night, between 3am and 10am to retain freshness and quality.
Fermentation is with natural, wild yeasts and lasted between 18 to 21 days, with weekly stirring of the lees. Maturation is in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit; the wine is kept on the fine lees for up to four months, imparting texture.
A wonderfully aromatic wine, with hints of lemon surrounding a core of peach, apricot and pineapple. Savoury and rich, with a lovely balancing freshness and a touch of honey on the finish.
