Couldn't load pickup availability
Intense aroma of orange zest, wild herb, and floral notes. Textured and complex on the palate with fine, bright acidity and a lingering minerality.
By design, this wine is unashamedly provocative. It is in no way subtle. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts, lees-stirring, and some skin contact all are accentuated by fermentation and aging in Cigar-shaped barrels.
How To Best Enjoy Our Wines
How To Best Enjoy Our Wines
All of our wines can be enjoyed straight away. For cellaring we reccomend a cool dark space to ensure the wine ages gracefully for 3-5 years. Decanting is reccomend upon opening.
"Enticing and curious...
A lovely purity, freshness and lift with a core varietal signature of citrus and dried herb, lemon and quince, peach and a fine lees with barrel spice complexity. Fantastic on the palate with flavours that reflect the bouquet and the volume turned up on citrus and lees spices. Excellent textures with acidity and fine barrel tannins painting the palate before citrus and stone fruit flavours layer on top. A complete wine with salivating acidity, saline qualities and a lengthy generous finish. Delicious! Best drinking from 2023 through 2029.”
