Product details
WINEMAKING
Juice from the crushed and gently pressed grapes was allowed to naturally settle before being racked with light lees to seasoned French barrique (20%) and tank for fermentation. The oak portion has added subtle flavour, aroma and texture while the remaining parcel provided fruit purity and clarity to the final wine. Both ferment portions were aged and stirred on lees, adding further complexity and enhancing the mouthfeel of the wine.
WINEMAKER’S MATCH
Best served lightly chilled and enjoyed with a wide range of dishes, in particular seafood, chicken or pork as well as a variety of vegetarian dishes.
