  • Intense aromas of smoky graphite and mineral notes of the oyster shell are complemented by zesty orange peel and Mirabelle plum. This fresh, supple cuvée delivers concentrated citrus flavours to a bright and uplifting mineral finish.

 

The grapes were carefully selected and gently pressed before the must was vinified in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation took place with selected yeasts, and once fermentation was complete, the wine was matured on its fine lees for 10 months, with lees stirring, imparting texture and subtle complexity. The cuvée was made without the influence of oak to showcase the fruit's purity and express the Silex soils' flinty notes.

Intense aromas of smoky graphite and mineral notes of oyster shell are complemented by zesty orange peel and Mirabelle plum. This fresh, supple cuvée delivers concentrated citrus flavours to a bright, uplifting mineral finish.

Winery

The grapes come from a three-hectare estate vineyard, where the vines have an average age of 40 years, producing low yields of concentrated fruit. The vines face a south-easterly orientation, maximising exposure to the sun to assist in the ripening of the berries. The soils are ‘silex’, a flinty clay which produces elegant wines with distinctive graphite and mineral characteristics. The vineyard is currently converting to organic status; the farming methods used over many years have followed these principles. Vineyard management techniques include ploughing the soil instead of using herbicides, growing cover crops between the rows of vines and sexual confusion of predators to maintain the vines' health and the environment's biodiversity.
