| Tasting Notes | Very appealing pale salmon colour. Alluring aromas of strawberries, sweet cherries, nectarines, and candy floss on the nose. On the palate smooth on entry coupled with a strawberry sorbet sensation. An exceptional balance between soft acidity opening up layers of fruit. Lingering strawberry flavours with surprisingly salivating salty finish. |
| Vinification | Grapes from 2 different blocks on the estate were selected specifically for this wine. Grapes were hand harvested to minimize colour extraction. Reductive winemaking techniques were used to ensure fresh fruit forward style. Grapes were destemmed and lightly crushed. A batch of whole bunce used in a gentle Champagne press cycle for soft extraction of colour without the loss of flavor components. Immediate separation of juice from the skins in the first batch, with the second batch giving the perfect taste sensation of a delicate balance between fruit and acidity. Wine is left on the fine lees for two months which adds to mouth feel. |
