Tasting Notes
Granny smith apple, apricot and petrichor (the smell of rain in the summer) on the nose. The apple replays on the palate, as does the stony minerality, joined by some honeydew melon and pink grapefruit notes. A zesty, lively, thirst-quenching, “crunchy” wine for sipping as an aperitif, or serving lightly chilled with a cold cut picnic lunch.

Winemaking
Hand-harvested at optimum ripeness, the grapes are gently pressed into stainless steel for temperature controlled fermentation. The wine spends 3 months on its lees, in stainless, for added complexity and mouthfeel. before bottling with a light filtration.
