Maturation for 11 months in French oak (65% first-use). No fining or filtering.
Inviting nose of peach, citrus, lemon curd, and vanilla, with stony, mineral notes. Very fresh on the palate, with juicy acidity and judicious use of oak. Medium-bodied with notable tension and a complex, long finish.
The grapes come from two cool-climate vineyards (Sun Chase and Nightwing) situated not far from the coast around 300 metres above sea level.
