The fruit for this wine is selected from our older estate plantings. It was fermented using wild yeasts and matured in a portion of new French oak hogshead barrels in order to maximise complexity. It is an intensely flavoured and complex wine with a lovely creamy texture and natural mineral acidity. This wine is a perfect accompaniment to seafood dishes and will develop further over the next 5 years or so.
