Pressed French linen on the line, meadow blossoms, light and lovely. Visions of flower crowns, of fresh grass trampled underfoot, of white strawberries, cranberries. It’s a midsummer of a wine. Evocative tug of toast, almonds and flint dances in. On the palate a creamy acid backbone sketches around luminous fruit, ascending into white-pear succulence and mouth-watering freshness. Defined by a weightless complexity, the fruit is ethereal, diaphanous, yet offers depth and dimension, and carries into a long, white-chalk finish.

A celebration of the lost art of field blend winemaking; 16 white varietals were inter-planted as bush vines on decomposed shale and granite. The grapes were picked at 4 different stages due to the ripening variation of the varietals. The fruit was pre-cooled and whole bunch pressed, before spontaneous fermentation, followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. 40% of the wine was fermented and aged in concrete egg and 60% in clay amphora for 12 months on lees prior to bottling and spent 4 months in bottle before release
