WINEMAKING
A manual selection of grapes at their optimum point of ripeness. Once in
the winery the grapes are cold macerated for 6-8 hours to create more structure
of flavour to finished wine. The grapes are then lightly pressed and the
juice
transferred to new French oak casks for fermentation for between 15 and 20
days at cellar temperature, between 16º and 20º. The young wine
remains on its lees which are periodically stirred through the wine so that
they hang in suspension. The wine is regularly tasted to assess its flavour
evolution, until we decide the optimum moment to rack it and bottle it.
THE VINTAGE
An excellent year in which weather conditions were perfect for winemaking.
The year was disease free and the grapes came to ripeness with little human
intervention.
TASTING NOTE
Bright straw yellow, star bright. Ripe summer fruit on the nose with floral notes. Soft, aromatic and rich in the palate, with good grapefruit acidity. Light toasty and biscuity flavours from the oak and lees, with hints and cinnamon over grapefruit on the finish.
