white clay.
Thoughts
Fragrant fig-tree-leaf and ripe peach dominate the nose, whilst juicy red pear and more peach are in balance with afresh acidity on the palate

Vinification
We keep oxidation of the must to a complete minimum! The aim of the game for this wine is to retain all the thiol potential in the aromatics.
The grapes are pressed until the skins are dry, the juice is then stirred on full solids for 8 hours, extracting all the
flavours.
Cold fermentation in stainless steel to retain its aromatic characters and was then stirred on its yeast lees for a brief 3 months to come together
