This wine is based on free run juice from the Spanish ‘Mass Selection’ clone, with a couple of barrels of pressings blended in immediately pre-bottling to add an extra textural element.Tasting Notes Colour: At bottling the wine was very pale with light green tints. With time we expect that it will develop some pale gold hints. Bouquet: Pure and fresh, with hints of citrus and peach. Palate: Medium bodied and zesty. This wine has a brilliant acid line and this gives the palate real length. |
