Luta - Zephyr 2021

Fresh, delicate aromas of green apple, almond, apricot, honeysuckle, dried flowers and flint. The palate is textural and concentrated with bright stone fruits dancing alongside biscotti notes and a creamy yet fresh and saline finish.

The vineyard is coastal and sits on a north facing slope. The maritime influence gives a temperature moderating effect and provides a daily, gentle sea breeze which reduces the risk of disease and keeps the site cool. This gives a more even diurnal temperature throughout the growing season which is fantastic for ripening. This, along with cool nights help retain freshness and acidity to the wines. The soils are gravel threaded clays that give the wines a lovely textural element.

These grapes were whole bunch pressed and left to settle overnight in stainless steel before being racked to Puncheons for fermentation.

These wines were aged on gross lees for 10 months before being racked to stainless steel and aged for a further 6 months before being bottled.
