Pale straw yellow in colour, with powerful varietal aromas on the nose, featuring cut grass, lemon citrus and subtle tropical scents. There is an abundance of sweet fruit on the palate, dominated by pineapple, passion fruit and honeydew melon, but balanced nicely by herbaceous undertones. The concentrated mid palate richness leads to a dry finish of considerable length and persistence, with the fruit intensified by racy acidity.

climate

Warm days and cool nights allowed steady flavour development and acid retention. Good winter rains followed by a warm spring set the vintage up for near perfect conditions.

soil

Grown on deep red loam and quartz volcanic rock on east facing slopes with an elevation of 450 Mtr.

vinification

The grapes were top loaded to a tank press to minimize oxidation and maceration. After gentle pressing the free run juice was cool fermented in stainless steel for 18 days. After fermentation the wine was cold filtered and bottled immediately to retain freshness and varietal expression. Minimal intervention allowed the varietal and vineyard provenance to shine.
