Tasting Notes:
Gastronomy:
Vineyards:
Ageing method:
Fermented in old 600L oak barrels and aged on fine lees prior to bottling, enhancing texture, complexity and palate weight.
Winemaking process:
Both vintages are produced using the same minimalist winemaking philosophy. Grapes are hand-harvested in the cool morning hours, whole-bunch pressed, and the juice is naturally settled for 24 hours before undergoing spontaneous fermentation in old 600L oak barrels. The final blend is completed prior to bottling, with no addition of acids or enzymes.
Blend Composition
2022: 72% Sauvignon Blanc, 28% Chenin Blanc.
2025: 75% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Chenin Blanc, 3% Semillon.
Interesting notes:
The vineyards are located just a few kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean, where cool maritime winds help preserve the grapes' natural freshness and acidity.
