Taste Profile: Rich straw gold in colour, aromas are intense and complex displaying nectarine, apricot and mandarin peel integrated with vanilla pod and hazelnut from the French oak influence. The palate shows ripe stone fruit flavours of nectarine, peach and dried apricot, integrated with a flinty earth and subtle French oak influence giving hints of roasted hazelnut. A well-structured and seamless wine with excellent length and complexity.
Winemaking Process: The fruit for this wine was hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in French oak barrels with indigenous (from Auntsfield vineyard) yeast. Maturation on yeast lees allowed the oak flavours to subtly integrate with the fruit to develop depth and complexity in the wine.
Succulent stonefruit with a citrus backbone characterises these wines. Typically, they have notes of tropical fruit, and come from warmer climates. A touch of oak during the winemaking process also helps to give some softness to the wine.
Expect notes of peach, apricot, pineapples, melon & a buttery texture
