Winemaking: 20% whole bunch. Spontaneous fermentation after cold soaking took place for an extended period.
Very subtle extraction during fermentation, with a light punch through daily. After fermentation, the wine was basket pressed to new French oak, where it remained for 10 months.
From there it was racked to a natural French oak barrel, where it rested for another 8 months before the wine was prepared for bottling.
Aging potential: Embrace the journey of discovery as this wine evolves gracefully over the next 8 to 12 years, revealing new dimensions with each passing year.
Blend information: Crafted with 100% Chenin Blanc, this wine is a pure expression of the vineyard’s essence and character.
