Winemakers Comments
A bright, beautiful salmon pink wine with a peach hue. Subtle nuances of fresh strawberries and cherries with hints of mineral character.The palate reflects the subtle flavors of strawberries, apricots and dark cherries which follow through from the nose. The acidity and fruit is well balanced, leading to a fresh, lively, crisp and dry finish on the palate. The palate has depth and weight, which allows it to be either enjoyed on its own or to be paired with food.

Viticulture
2018/19 was a true winemaker’s vintage. A relatively cold and wet winter gave way to late and disorganized flowering. Our vineyard team had to apply plenty of anticipation and thought to deal with the changing and unusual weather which disrupted the regular pattern of activities. A generally cooler vintage has produced wines with exceptional elegance!
