Winemaking Process

Harvested fruit is gently destemmed and fermented in small batches without oak intervention. The wine spends minimal time on lees before bottling under screwcap to maintain purity and freshness.

Tasting Notes

Bright and lifted, with aromatics of cherry blossom, rose petal, strawberry and cranberry. The palate is silky and medium-bodied, offering cranberry, loganberry and forest-floor notes, supported by fine-grained tannins and a lightly savoury finish.

Food Pairing

Stylish with roast duck, grilled salmon, mushroom dishes or charcuterie boards. Its balanced acidity and aromatic lift also pair well with vegetarian plates featuring root vegetables or herbs.
