Hints of floral oak spice gives the wine an extra layer of depth.

WINE GROWING & VINIFICATION

The grapes come from selected vineyard parcels which showcase more fruit driven aromas. The grapes are hand-picked, destemmed and gently crushed into a press. The juice is allowed to settle naturally over 24 hours after which we inoculate with selected yeast to enhance our fruit profile. Fermentation takes place at 14 to 16 Celsius. After fermentation the wine is aged with French oak for four months.
