About this Item
“It’s not about us. It’s about our region, its soils, its beautiful vineyards and beautiful people.” - David Sadie
100% Chenin Blanc
The grapes were hand-picked during multiple pickings from three Old Vine Project certified Single Vineyards dating back to 1968 from iron-rich clay on limestone, weathered granite and schist soils. The grapes were chilled before being hand-sorted, whole bunch pressed and naturally fermented in old French oak barrels for 11 months on its lees. Made as naturally and as stable as possible. 100% malolactic fermentation and no fining.
Tasting Notes: Focused on tension, purity, tightness, concentration and freshness with salinity as core.
Drink in 3 - 5 years’ time. Should mature well for 15 years.
