An elegant wine showcasing gooseberry and passion fruit on the nose, which opens up to reveal green fig, grapefruit, and nectarine. The wine has a mineral quality, supported by concentrated fruit and juicy acidity that leaves a lingering aftertaste. This is a complex wine that delivers a beautiful expression of our pristine terroir.
The grapes were given up to 6 hours of skin contact to allow for flavor extraction from the skins before pressing. The juice was handled reductively and cold-fermented to protect the delicate thiol characteristics of the grape variety. Five months of lees contact were given to add mid-palate weight to the blend.
