Taste Profile:In the glass, it unveils a medium-yellow hue with a radiant golden undertonethat hints at its richness. The aroma is lifted and perfumed, unfolding in layersthat offer a bouquet of lychee, lemongrass, ripe finger lime, citrus nougat,tinned apricots, rose petals, preserved lemon, macadamia butter and anaromatic undertone of baby apricots and jasmine.

The wine continues its elegant presence on the palate, guided by a compelling interplay of acidity and fruit. As the flavours promised on the aromapersist and underline the wine’s integrity, the pronounced acidity providesstructure and balance to the wine’s opulent fruit profile. While full-bodiedin the way the fruit coats your mouth, adding richness, it maintains its leanfinesse with remarkable poise. A nuanced mineral character adds a pithytexture and briny aftertaste for a lovely savoury twist.

Winemaking Process:De-stemmed, crushed and pressed without any skin-contact. Cold fermentation with yeast strain VIN 13 at 15Celsius to dryness. The wine was matured on gross lees for three months prior to bottling.
