Sample
The wine was whole bunched pressed and aged in old 500 ltr oak barrels on lees before bottling. The nose gives brown pear, autumnal leaves and a touch of bergamot. This is a wine of texture, with a tautness of pear that is laced with citrus acidity; time in barrel has given some dimension with a savoury, yet creamy interlude on the mid palate before driving, just ripe red apple takes over. Good length and mouth feel.

A unique and classy wine.
