Oak Types French
Barrel Size 228L, 300L
Production Details The hand-picked grapes were cooled overnight, then hand-sorted and destemmed, after which the pressed juice was left to settle. Fermentation started in stainless steel and finished in oak barrels. A 15% portion of the settled juice is fermented and matured in new French oak for 8 months, which gives body and complexity to the resultant wine. To retain freshness, some of the barrels go through spontaneous malolactic fermentation, which softened the overall acidity and therefore the mouthfeel.
Tasting Notes
Nose: subtle oak, bright fruit, white flowers, citrus, syrupy pear, brioche
Palate: linear, elegant poise
Food Pairing cold meat terrine, grilled fish, butter chicken, creamy risotto
