Vintage Year and Viticulture:
A cooler and wetter season than normal was conducive to creating aromatically integrated wines. The vineyards performed as expected, efficiently removing all the excess water through the vineyards under drainage. Harvest time fell on the 24th of October. Yields averaged 4 tons per acre with the vines were 6 years old.

Winemaker's Notes:
The juice pressed from very clean, ripe fruit was used with selected yeast for cold-controlled, slow fermentation. The fermentation lasted for 7 days in stainless steel tanks to highlight the native fruit characteristics of this wine, and to maintain its excellent acidity.

Tasting Notes:
Lively aromas of honey suckle and melon dance in the glass in this refreshing fruit forward wine. The mouthfeel is clean yet rich and enticing with flavours of honeyed fruit and tangerines. A good acid structure makes way for a zesty, lemony finish. Perfect accompaniment for shell fish and poached or grilled white fish such as sole or tilapia.
