'A masterful, precise New World/ Old World fusion. Grapefruit, lime, peach on the nose with a delicious multi-layered fruit core that is well balanced by sturdy acidity.' - The Buyer
Whole-bunch pressed with no enzymes, SO2 or commercial yeasts added at pressing. After an overnight rough-settling, the juice is sent to barrel, with fermentation and ageing taking place over 10 months in a 2600L Foudre.
