Partially whole bunch pressed, fermented in barrel with wild yeast and aged on lees for 10 months prior bottling.
 
A refined and elegant wine from the cooler 2023 vintage, the nose shows nectarine that’s back by worked almond and fresh nougat. The palate has tension and drive, there is concentration of stone fruits that are supported by dry wood spice that gives more savoury than creamy impact that suits the flow of the wine.
 
The finish has chiseled concentration of fruit that is tempered by fresh fig and a lingering creaminess. Excellent release that will drink well for over a decade.
