Hand harvested in the cool of the morning, the grapes are gently de-stemmed and pumped into the press, where the fruit is left to macerate and extract the maximum sugar during the best part of two days. The fruit is then gently pressed to get the very best juice. This succulent wine has lifted aromas of honeyed apricots, marmalade and citrus cheesecake. The palate is defined by similar favours, with a rich, long elegant finish.
