Vinification: The grapes are de-stemmed and crushed at low bar pressure shortly after harvesting. Only the first juice is collected. The must is then separated in to new French lightly toasted oak barrels, where it undergoes
fermentation for approximately 4 weeks. The wine is then rested in the barrels for a further month before mild battonage is performed, followed by immediate bottling. The bottles are then stored carefully in a controlled cellar where they remain for 6 more months. - Tasting Notes: A powerful and expressive orange wine, with notes of baked peach and pear on the nose. Dry and weighty, the long finish is accentuated with with notes of toffee and vanilla.
