SKU: 46432

Layers of granny smith apple, quince, lime peel and a distinctive flintiness gives this wine a fresh and vibrant nose. The palate is structured and well balanced with great acidity. At the same time it is complex and layered with fruit and some floral notes which provide good texture and a lingering finish.

The must undergoes spontaneous fermentation in 300ℓ French oak casks, 95% being new oak and 5% second fill. The wine is aged for 12 months in new French Barrique on the gross lees. Thereafter it is racked into stainless steel tank to age for a further 4 months prior to bottling.
