The winemaking team employs a minimalistic approach to allow the granite and sandstone soils to shine through the fruit. Harvesting occurs at 4:00 am to preserve the delicate aromatic precursors and natural freshness of the grapes. The winery keeps each vineyard block separate during fermentation to maintain the unique identity of various altitudes. This meticulous attention to detail results in a balanced, dry wine that pairs perfectly with grilled prawns. Its excellent structural integrity allows for beautiful evolution in the bottle over the next three to five years.
