The nose of this wine displays an enticing mix of white stone fruits and sweet pineapple with an underlying hint of ginger. The palate is luscious and flavoursome, again nectarine and peach are prominent, with a twist of candied citrus rind.These sweet flavours evolve through the palate into more savoury flavours reminiscent of raw almonds and spice. A generous, textural wine with surprising finesse on the finish.

Winemaking
Grapes are gently crushed in small batches and basket-pressed in stainless steel. A long, moderately cool fermentation preserves fresh fruit character; 4% is wild-fermented for complexity. Aged French oak is used for 14% of the Viognier, adding mouthfeel and supporting subtle tannins. Marsanne is treated similarly, then blended near the end.
