The Vineyard
The Vineyard
The unirrigated Redwood Valley vineyard is situated on a gently sloping, north-facing clay site; the vines range in age from 10 to 30 years. Vertical shoot positioning helps to expose the berries to sunlight, thus getting maximum intensity and optimal ripeness.
Winemaker's Notes
Winemaker's Notes
Delicate fruit flavours and aromas were retained from the vineyard using careful canopy management and the grapes were picked at optimal ripeness in good condition. Fruit was de-stemmed and pressed immediately after harvest, and a cool fermentation was initiated in stainless steel tanks to retain the clean aromatic fruit characters. The wine was blended and stabilised in June 2023.
"Medium coloured with perfumed citrus on the nose. The palate is juicy and full with lemon-lime citrus and a touch of candied citrus peel. Not shy of sweetness which has been well balanced by the steely acid that gives structure and length."
