Vintage Snapshot

A cool season has produced a delicate wine with wonderful natural acidity and pristine varietal characters. 

Production Notes

Once pressed, settled and racked, the fermentation was undertaken with a selected strain of complexing yeast that respects the inherent fruit profile of the grapes. The wine was matured in tank with its yeast lees until clarification just prior to bottling in June 2023.
