Production Details Fruit came from a six-hectare single vineyard and was harvested in five passes at different ripeness levels. The first three passes were whole-bunch pressed; the last two were destemmed and skin-macerated for up to 12 hours. Juice settled overnight before barrel fermentation. Each lot was vinified and matured separately and blended after maturation.
Tasting Notes Honeysuckle, ripe white peach, melon, fresh lime, ginger spice, crisp sherbet-like acidity, stone fruit, citrus, silky texture, long mouth-watering finish, and minerality
Food Pairing Simply grilled fish or chicken; ripe creamy cheeses such as Époisses or Dalewood Winelands Camembert. Serve at 14–16°C and avoid overchilling.
