Sample
The grapes were sourced from Edinger Estate and made under contract at Flametree wines. Ferment was wild yeast and the wine aged in 40% new French oak. The wine is only a baby, with a tightness of fruit and impact from oak that will need time in bottle to fully unfurl.
The oak gives a dominant smoke and vanilla edge to the nose with white peach and fig in the background. The wine has structure, acidity is mineral and the use of a high proportion of oak and time on lees has given generosity of texture with plenty of almond meal like input. The finish shows a lithe line of acidity with a citrus thread and white peach.
