Winemaking
We take 50% of the harvest and apply 100% whole bunch fermentation. This is a 12 day process very similar to how we make pinot noir. The other 50% is a whole berry ferment, which is hand plunged for 3 days.
The two batches are pressed together to old hogsheads, where they remain for 3 months prior to a clean rack. No finings or stabilization. Minimal SO2 add the day before bottling.
We call this smashability with interest.
Let’s start with the COLOUR! Vibrant peach and copper tones that work so well with our new branding (not a coincidence!)
Super pretty berries and vanilla on the nose, the palate shows sweet musk and pear, rounded out with savoury grippiness and a hint of funk (that’s the skin fermentation at play). Its crisp acidity makes it a great match for food.
