Hand-picked, it is fermented in a combination of stainless-steel tanks and a 2000-litre French oak barrel known as a foudré. The wine then spends three months on its yeast lees to gain complexity and texture. It smells of quince, citrus and tropical fruits – seriously alluring. Silky and textural, this is refreshment personified with intense citrus, mineral and passionfruit flavours that have grip and a lengthy finish.
