Pale green straw in colour. Delightful and vibrant nose of white florals, citrus zest and freshly squeezed lime juice. Vibrant and lifted palate of lime zested over slate, a strong and driven structure with the full array of juicy yellow, green and orange citrus fruit with a halo of white floral notes. An undercurrent of slatey texture provides a great deal of length, freshness and character.
The fruit was picked in the cool of the night and pressed quickly before undergoing ferment at cool temperatures (10-15C) in stainless steel before being cleaned up and bottled early to retain freshness
A decently wet 2022 ensured a later start to the growing season than average for vintage 2023 with minimal soil moisture pressure. Rainfall during the harvest period presented some challenges in the vineyard but the sloping windy nature of the majority of the Bethany sites ensured that with care and attention and significant disease events were avoided. Yields were average to above average and the balance and quality arising from such a balanced and extended growing period is exceptional. Whites retained lovely natural acid and exciting levels of aromatic intensity and concentration. The reds show exceptional colour, pristine bright fruit and lovely balanced acid and tannin structures.
