Pale Straw to light green in colour. Freshly cut peach, lemon butter and honeycomb provide the driving force whilst extended lees stirring adds complex depth. Soft creamy texture gives length from the extended time on lees whilst the flavours or peach, lemon and lime provide the weight with a clean refreshing finish just with a hint of natural fruit acid. Try a chicken risotto with mushroom, onion, thyme, garlic and Parmesan.
The grapes were machine picked then crushed followed by the primary alcoholic fermentation. Weekly stirring of the light lees resulted in the development of more complex and rich flavours, whilst regular tasting ensured a delicate and satisfying balance between fresh fruit and acid. The wine was filtered and stabilised before bottling.
