Harvested across multiple pickings to capture a full spectrum of natural flavours, the fruit was gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel at cool temperatures. A short period of lees ageing adds texture and weight, while careful handling preserves a whisper of natural carbon dioxide for added freshness. The result is a wine with serious concentration and impeccable balance.

Nose: Inviting aromas of pineapple, quince, and pear drop rise alongside floral hints of rose petal and linden, with a subtle whisper of saffron and chamomile tea.

Palate: The textured mid-palate bursts with apricot, white nectarine, and spice, supported by a splash of varietal acidity and integrated phenolics that create satisfying tension. At 13.5% ABV, the wine flows smoothly with a touch of honeyed sweetness that never overwhelms.

Finish: The close is bittersweet and lingering, with great length and a crisp, refreshing edge that invites the next sip.

Pair this with roast pork, Asian-style seafood dishes, or creamy risotto to let the fruit and spice shine.

Serve lightly chilled at 10–13°C in a medium white wine glass to highlight the aromatics and texture.

A versatile choice for dinner parties, thoughtful gifting, or simply enjoying with a home-cooked meal on any night of the week.
