Description
A fresh upfront tropical array of lime, pineapple and guava evolves to hints of orange blossom and citrus on the palate and flinty minerality lingering on aftertaste.

In the vineyard
The grapes of both varieties were harvested at night and destemmed only to press under reductive conditions.
Ageing
The Sauvignon Blanc juice was settled with pectalytic enzymes for 48 hours at 9° Celsius before being racked and inoculated with a selected commercial yeast. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks was managed at 14-16° Celsius and lasted for 21 days. The juice of the viognier component was also settled for 48 hours before being racked to barrel where ferment started naturally and was then aided by the addition of specifically selected commercial yeast culture.
