Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, the juice was transferred to barrel for fermentation. The barrels were a mixture of both wild and inoculated ferments and 75% of the blend completed malolactic fermentation.  The wine was subsequently aged for 10 months with lees stirring to add volume and complexity. The final blend has a 25% new French oak component, and 18% 2nd fill. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANALYSIS pH 3.36 TA 5.7g\/L Alc 13.0% RS 1.4g\/L \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTASTING NOTE \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBeautifully layered aromas of nectarine and peach, lemon curd, sweet scented oak spice, savoury creaminess and perfumed florals fill the nose.
