About The Wine
A vibrant and intense profile is reflective of the early, warm vintage we experienced in 2024. A botanical nose with lemon myrtle and underlying white peach. Electric acidity with a zesty fruit profile and ‘just-right’ textural grip makes this a bold and refreshing choice.
Winemaking
The Semillon, both young and old vine, was handpicked, sorted and destemmed with 10% left as whole berries with the remainder pressed to stainless steel as cloudy juice. This year we also included Semillon Gris (aka Pink Semillon), which added texture and weight. The Semillon Gris was destemmed and left to cold soak overnight, before basket pressing to ferment in concrete. This portion went through malolactic fermentation and was left on lees in clay amphora before racking and blending.
