WINEMAKER NOTES
Picked during cool evenings, fermentation at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks was utilised to retain the fresh varietal aromatics with 10% fermented with indigenous yeast. After fermentation, the wine underwent an extended period of lees contact, adding texture and length to the wine. The result is a hand-crafted wine combining the bright fresh fruit characters with an underlying minerality and fine structure.
VITICULTURIST NOTES
The 2025 season was characterised by excellent yields and a warm dry long Summer. Regular winter rainfall and a warm late spring encouraged optimal canopy growth and fruit set. Summer was dry but stayed relatively cool resulting in healthy vines with no disease or water stress. Many hours were spent throughout the season reducing yields to optimal levels. There was a slow progression into Autumn with a long, drawn-out ripening period where the fruit reached optimum ripeness in perfect harvest conditions.
