WINEMAKERS NOTES

Clos des Pierres (place of stones). The season produced pristine fruit with beautifully ripe flavours. The quality of the 2020 vintage wines is outstanding. Predominately from 26 year old vines, the fruit for this wine was hand harvested, lightly whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented. The wine was then aged for 11 months in a 4,500L French oak cuve and a concrete egg tank. Full malolactic fermentation occurred. In pursuit of the highest quality, we have not fined or filtered this wine. As a result a harmless residue may remain.

PALATE

Bright and focused, opening up to layers of lemon butter and white peach, over minerals and toasted oak.

BOUQUET

Toasted pine nuts and citrus mingled with flinty characters.
