The fruit was destemmed and pressed into stainless steel for fermentation. The final product shows spritz, and bubbles lashed with mineral notes, overtones of ripe nashi pear, apple and elderflower.

A blend of 70% Chardonnay with 30% Old Vine Semillon. The Chardonnay underwent wild yeast fermentation in French oak, while the Semillon was fermented in stainless steel. The final blend is a mix of flint and funky from the Chardonnay and zesty, fresh citrus from the Semillon. 

We have planted, grafted and replaced Pinot Noir vines for many years. As such, the vineyard looks something like the ‘Devil’s Kitchen’ – a true mix of character and complexity.

Hand picked and 100% destemmed for whole berry fermentation. The fruit was hand plunged twice a day before being pressed off at the end of ferment. The wine underwent MLF & lees aging in 1 to 3-year old French oak and was barrel aged for 8 months.
