Growing Conditions

An extremely dry winter, and a damp and cool early spring gave way to an extraordinary heat wave in June, with the temperature peaking at 42, but with the maximum daily temperature staying 30 degrees for over 30 days out of 35 in June and July. The rest of the summer was much cooler, and the grapes for our white were harvested in almost perfect conditions before the rains of the 10th September.

Nose

Very enticing, and quite expressive, with notes of white peach and pineapple.

Palate

A dry wine, but also very soft and approachable, this rich, flavourful white has some of the zing of Sauvignon, but with a much smoother, softer palate, more like a Viognier, with layers of peachy fruit.

Appearance

A refreshing yellow gold.

Food Pairing

Lovely with chicken, grilled pork and rich seafood dishes or just some salted almonds and charcuterie.
