Garagiste specialises in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, practising low-intervention winemaking in order to allow terroir and variety to shine. This is a blend of hand-picked grapes from three sites on different soils, whole-bunch pressed and barrel fermented using natural yeasts in French oak puncheons, 10% new. The wine is then matured on its lees for a further 10 months before bottling.

The reduced, struck-match nose leads into an intense and zesty palate of juicy apple, stone fruits, caramel and toffee, with some soft vanilla and wood spices. Elegant and fresh in style, it fills out with some tropical fruit on the mid-palate before finishing with some tangy, pithy lime.
