Dominant aromas of barley sugar, citrus blossom and mineral – typical of the Gingin clone, with ample texture and a long, fine acidity.
The fruit was hand-picked and whole-bunch pressed directly into 30% new French oak, 70% 1 year old French oak from a combination of forests. Juice naturally fermented in barrel with only 10% allowed to go through full malolactic fermentation.
