A wine all about layers, complexity and energy. The citrusy nature of Vermentino shows itself here in an intense, pithy, lemon sorbet like tang. But itโs the savoury elements that cut through this and provide the real interest โ briney and saline, the crunchy tannins are balanced by the hint of oak, so while complex, it provides mean drinkability and screams for fresh, oily fish over red hot coals.

Vinification: The fruit is destemmed and fermented on skins until sugar dry, about 14 days.

This wine sees no additions of any kind save for a small amount of SO2 at bottling.
