Winemaking Like in years past, we created a pied de cuve (early native ferment) with a small number of grapes from the vineyard to build a strong yeast population from the native flora. The pressed juice was split between the heart of the press, which went directly into two puncheon (500L) barrels, with the rest being settled and fermented in neutral French oak barrels and stainless-steel barrels.
Aging 6 months on lees in 500L & 228L neutral French oak barrels

The Character
Overall Textured, honeyed, and lip-smackingly delicious
Tasting Notes The 2023 wine has all the classic Chenin fixings - taut electricity, a bit of pithy and flinty reduction, and then, of course, plenty of apple and pear fruit that connects with the waxy lanolin in the right amount. The mid-palate weight, which is richer this year, leads to a length that goes on for days.
Sustainability Minimal Intervention / Augmentation, Natural Fermentation
