Winemaker Notes
Aromas of orange zest, ripe cherry and pear. Rich viscosity with notes of juicy orange, dates and vanilla. Finished dry.
Hand-harvested from estate 19-year-old vines in well-drained, rocky schist and sandstone ancient
seabed soil that naturally does not encourage high vigour. This soil is why we bought our property in 2004, very different from the typical water-holding clay loam that dominates the north ridge of our valley. We encourage a living soil supported by our organic practices so that the special terroir flavours are accentuated, and this vintage shows it off with pronounced mineral texture and a touch of saline.
Organic L’Acadie Blanc with 4 hours skin contact gives this wine viscosity, richness and enhanced tropical fruit notes.

Food pairings:
Serve slightly chilled, too cold will mask its texture. This wine has the richness of a Viognier, so similar suggested pairings such as dishes rich in protein.
Creamy pastas
Focaccia and extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Salty nuts
Butternut squash soup
