Tasting Notes
Colour
Straw yellow in colour.
Nose
Made in the oxidative style, citrus compote with touch of botrytis and fine oak nuances.
Palate
Complex wine with a serious mid palate and length.
Vintage
A better crop compared to 2019, owing to favourable post-harvest conditions and moderate temperatures during ripening.
Vinification
Grapes were picked at 20°C, gentle crushed and was cold macerated on the skins for 8 hours before pressing. The juice was left to settle for two days and racked to barrel. Using only wild yeast, fermentation occurred over an 8-day period. The wine spent 36 months in a 3rd fill 500L French oak barrel.
