Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Delicate notes of apple blossom, nectarine, honeysuckle, lime zest – with mineral undertones. On the palate – intense lime, zesty mandarin and ripe red apple. Bright acidity brings freshness and balances with generous fruit sweetness. These two aspects are accentuated by the natural spritz retained from fermentation which provides lift in the mid-palate. The reprise is long and lingering with a satisfyingly crisp cleansing texture.
Our organically grown grapes are hand harvested then whole bunch pressed gently over several hours. The must settled overnight before being racked off gross solids, taking only fluffy lees. Fermentation is allowed to proceed slowly at low temperature and stopped when the sugar, acid, alcohol and phenolics are in balance. 10% was wild fermented in old French oak barrels. We hold this wine at a cool temperature for the remainder of it’s time in the cellar to retain the natural co2 spritz from primary ferment. The wine is racked and spends 6 months on fine lees before bottling."

Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, March 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"Aromas of mandarin and sweet lemon, ripe red apple, blossoms and a core cold wet stone mineral quality. There’s a flinty note as well. Off-dry on the palate with a medium sweetness as the wine touches the palate. Contrasting acidity brings an immediate balance with the fruits flavours of citrus and tree fruits dominating. Flavours of white flowers and pear tart-tatin add depth and complexity. A delicious wine – perfect as an aperitif or a great match with slightly spicy starter courses. Best drinking from 2022 through 2032+."
