Technical & Tasting Notes
VITICULTURE
A premium Pet Nat made from low-yielding vines grown on our Hilltops vineyard. Grenache was recently grafted onto 20yr old Riesling rootstocks.
WINE MAKING
Fermented to dry then 50% of the wine was fined and filtered and the rest kept in tank, on its lees for 7 months. The resulting wine was then blended, inoculated and bottled. The wine was left to finish its fermentation in bottle for 4 weeks before release
TASTING NOTES
Perfumed and aromatic with hints of pink grapefruit, strawberries and brioche. A light spritz of soft red berries and yeasty notes dominate the palate with a pink grapefruit freshness leading to a dry, complex finish.
