A single-vineyard wine. Old barrels, so minimum oak impact, fermented with natural yeasts and kept on the lees to build up body and texture. Focuses more on wild herb flavours than easy fruitiness. Saline grip that cradles a citrus and spiced pineapple body. No fining or filtering, and minimal sulphur.
