Winemaking Notes:
Fruit for this wine was sourced from our own vineyards planted 25-35 years ago. After harvesting at night, the grapes were pressed gently without crushing and the juice allowed to clarify naturally and slowly. Following racking, the juice was cold fermented with a yeast strain renown for enhancing the aromatics of the wine. The components were blended and received a light fining during stabilising and bottling in early May 2010

Background Information:
This wine has an excellent heritage of vines planted in 1973 and 1985. Each year these vineyards produce fruit of excellent flavour and depth with both varieties contributing citrus characters with an extra dimension of limes, snow peas and gooseberries 

Oak:
Nil
