2020 was a warm vintage with low yields. This meant that fruit quality was excellent, and we were able to harvest early to maintain the natural acidity.

This wine was fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the primary fruit flavours. The wine then spent four months on French oak to build secondary complexity into the palate. To contribute some subtle savoury notes, a dash of Sauvignon Blanc was added to the final blend.

Food Pairing: Chicken with creamy mushroom sauce.
