Product Features
- After settling the clean juice is rack off the sediment and moved into stainless steel tanks for fermenting under controlled cold temperatures.
- Once fermentation is complete the wine is racked from the thick muddy lees and kept on the fine lees at very low temperatures.
- After the wine has gained further complexity from lees contact it is racked and prepared for bottling.
- The wine is soft with a mild acidity, allowing fresh tropical flavours to come to the fore.
- Hints of green and ripe figs are present and the finish is crisp with a lasting clean minerality.
- The succulent palate structure makes this an ideal food wine, superb with oysters, seafood, pasta carbonara, barbecued meats, cream-based pasta dishes, light curries as well as roast pork and veal dishes.
