Growing Conditions
The 2011 growing season began with a warm and dry spring that was followed by a summer punctuated with perfectly timed rain events yet otherwise low in humidity. The autumn harvest period was dry and protracted with vintage conditions best described as on the warm side of perfect. The resulting white wines show bright acidity and an abundant and bold array of varietal expressions which are layered and pure.
Palate
The bouquet is an enticing mix of white field flowers, grapefruit, pear essence and brioche. Enriched with layers of nutmeal, the palate’s fine, creamy texture is supported by toasted vanillin oak. The bright lemon acidity adds a degree of restraint and length to finish the wine.
Appearance
pale straw in colour with lemon/lime hues.
Harvest
All batches are handpicked within the Baume range of 12⁰ to 12.5⁰.These individual parcels are cooled overnight in vented crates, hand sorted then whole bunch pressed to extract only the free run juice.
