Winemaking Notes
Made from Roussanne picked slightly early on the 2nd of March to achieve great minerality and to retain high natural acidity. The wine was whole bunch pressed straight to an old French oak barrel to undergo alcoholic fermentation. Malolactic conversion was prevented and the wine underwent bâtonnage for around 8 months, before bottling in December 2023. 336 Bottles. 10.4% Alc/Vol. Vegan
