Winemaker Notes
Picked on October 6 and wild fermented four days on the skins. Shows intense honey, lime and floral aromas with orange and subtle apple flavours, rich mouth texture and slight tannin.
Our Estate vineyard has been certified organic since it was planted in 2005 and Orange Wine fully represents the flavours of the vineyard that we have been diligently fostering. Organic practices encourage healthy microbiology of our rocky soil, vines and grape clusters, all contributing to unique flavours from soil, varietal and wild fermentation - a truly terroir-based wine with enhanced minerality from our schist and sandstone soil and complex flavours from a partial wild ferment of our natural vineyard microbes.
