Despite coming from the same block, there is significant variation within the grapes, requiring each picking to be treated individually. This aligns with the philosophy of small batch winemaking, where the origin of each parcel of grapes is carefully considered and expressed. After receiving the grapes in the early morning, they are gently pressed and settled overnight. The juice, which may be slightly hazy, is then transferred to different fermentation vessels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eVINICULTURE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eTo create distinct blending options, fermentation takes place in oak foudre, concrete egg, stainless steel, and primarily 500L French oak barrels, with a significant portion being new French oak. Regular battonage is employed to enhance texture and volume in the Chenin Blanc. The wine is aged for a minimum of 10 months, blended, and bottled for further aging for at least 6 months.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eNOTES OF WINEMAKER\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eThe fruit profile remains faithful to the varietal – stone fruits, succulent peach, apricot, and zesty lime interplay seamlessly with hints of melon, green apple, and elegant white pear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eThe integrated, slightly robust structure lingers harmoniously, underscoring the symphony of flavours.
