Production
The grapes were harvested at 22-23.5ºBrix depending on varietal and site. After whole bunch pressing, the juice was settled and racked to a combination of 500l French oak barrels for fermentation. The wine spent 10 months barrel ageing on the lees for a richer mouth feel and underwent partial malolactic fermentation.

Tasting notes
This is a medium bodied white wine. Ripe and exotic with complex aromas of dried yellow fruits, citrus and subtle oak spice. The palate shows leesy complexity with concentrated fruit and a juicy finish that lingers.
Food match
Enjoy this wine with a meal or on it's own and serve chilled. Delicious with full flavoured grilled fish, sumptuous lobster and avocado salad or creamy chicken dishes. The wine had the potential to age for 3-5 years and will gain more complexity and richness over time.
