Oh. This is simply beautiful. Playful without being hollow. Bruised yellow stone fruits meet grilled pineapple and sea spray, with salted almonds and wild herbs painting the edges. The palate goes full maritime, that sardine-tin salinity hitting first before honeyed sweetness rounds it out. Those slightly grainy tannins add just enough grip to keep things engaging. Proper delicious, this.
This wine is crafted from Macabeu sourced from our 80-year-old home block vineyard. The grapes underwent a 12-hour foot-stomped maceration before being gently pressed in a basket press. The wine was then aged for 12 months in a mix of old and one-year-old barrels.
More outgoing than its sibling, showing off a captivating nose that's like a coastal picnic - bruised and grilled yellow fruits meeting sea breeze. Salted nuts, honey and fresh herbs complete the picture. The palate goes full-on maritime with a sardine-like salinity. While the acidity's playing it safe (drink now, folks), there's plenty to love in the fruit and those slightly grainy tannins.
