Summer in a glass!

in the vineyard : The grapes are grown on Hutton soils which are north and north-west facing, catching the afternoon sunshine. This makes the slopes slightly warmer than the rest of the farm.

in the cellar : Partially whole-bunch pressed and destemmed to achieve a delicate blush color, with only 400 liters per ton selected for this purpose. Each cultivar was fermented separately in stainless steel tanks using a variety of yeasts. The wine underwent an extended period of lees contact, with regular stirring over approximately 6 months, before being meticulously filtered and bottled.
