"Hand-picked fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed into a tank and settled overnight. It was then transferred into French oak barriques (25% New, 35% second and third use and 40 % older) and inoculated with a neutral yeast. From May until late winter the barrels were stirred every two weeks until MLF was completed. For this vintage 30% was prevented from going through MLF to retain acid. The wine was left on yeast lees until December when it was transferred to tank for a further month on lees. The wine was bottled in January 2014, 10 months after harvest."
Similar to previous vintages in its elegance and fineness after a near perfect 2013 vintage. Aromas of lemon, white peach, nectarine and floral notes combined with subtle oak. Subtle flavours reflective of the aromas " particularly lemon, nectarine, white peach and elegant oak. The wine has a soft middle palate with good length and a nice acid balance."
