Description
Chenin, grown our Morrison vineyard, has been barrel fermented in older French oak and left aging on lees for a year. Racked and then fortified to 15% the wine is then left in barrel, 3/4's full, with air for a period of three years. Over this time it slowly develops its colour, a bright amber golden hue, and crucially also its flavours and aromas. Aromas of lightly burnt butter & umami lead to a palate that is driven by bright acidity. Dry mineral edged nuttiness elevates these savoury flavours to a salty edged finish leaving nothing but freshness of flavour
