A perfumed nose of orange blossom follows on to the palate which has some orange and mineral notes, a waxy texture and lemony acidity. Enjoy this summer or age a year or two. Particularly good with Asian dishes containing lemon grass.
From young bush vines planted in the Schist soils of Palm Block on Roundstone Farm. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts is in older French oak barrels. The wine is left on the lees until Spring, during which time it goes through malolactic fermentation. The barrels are racked and blended just before the following vintage and bottled unfiltered. 11 months in 3rd-fill French oak 500L barrels.
