‘Blood orange, raspberry and sweet floral notes dominate the nose. A bright citrus entry with a very linear but textured pallet. Notes of grapefruit and delicate touch of herbs with a pithy nervousness to the finish.’ – Winemaker

Tasting Notes Aromatics of green apple, dried apricots, completed with hints of jasmine. The pallet is rich, creamy and shows good concentration, balanced by a bright acidity that adds backbone to the wine. Winemaker's Notes The grapes were harvested in the early morning and processed reductively to preserve flavours and aromas. After settling out all rough lees, the juice was racked and inoculated with a selected yeast strain and fermented between 13 and 15 degrees Celsius. Filtered and bottled in March 2024.

The Chenin Blanc spent time on its lees in concrete tanks and old casks – this is an important part of the maturation and gives incredible texture and palate weight to the wine. The aromas are flinty with honey, orange blossom and white stone fruit notes.
