Description
This is a serious and weighty amber (or orange) wine, made entirely from Chardonnay. The grapes were loaded into a stainless steel tank, whole cluster and topped up with CO2 to facilitate a carbonic maceration. Here they macerated for 23 days before being basket pressed into a terracotta amphora and aged for 10 months, after which the wine was aged on cork for a year.
The resulting wine is a deep but bright amber colour, with a remarkable tension and grip. The wine has layers of bright citrus peel, bitter lemon, Comte, hints of clove and star anise with an earthy and smoky note.
This is wine made for food, and will pair well with all sorts of non traditional wine pairing dishes; think curries, wasabi or spicy snacks! We believe it will continue to develop and age well over several years in bottle as well.
The fermentation started spontaneously with wild yeasts present on our grapes. No additives, filtration or fining. Bottled according to the Biodynamic calendar.
