Sourced from the Water Trough block, the Aleatico is whole-bunch pressed. Fermentation is cool and slow to lift the aromatics typical of Muscat varieties, and the grapes are put through a Champagne press to ensure no colour is extracted, as it is a black-skinned grape. The wine was aged for four months in a neutral 500L puncheon and stainless steel, then bottled in early February 2024. Malolactic fermentation was arrested. Incredibly bright aromatics boast a wildflower character of jasmine and honeysuckle, with white peach laced with a hint of vanilla bean. It all comes together on the medium-bodied palate, framed by a bracing acid spine and a long, saline mineral finish. Super aromatic and refreshing, and floral through and through.
