TASTING NOTES
Pronounced aromas of litchi, ripe yellow apples, rose petals, and hints of Turkish Delight. Flavours of litchi, kiwi fruit characters finishing off with a hint of orange marmalade on the palate. This wine is a true reflection of terroir.
FOOD PAIRING
An ideal companion to spicy food or curries such as Thai red duck curry with pineapple and lychee or even a simple Waldorf salad. This wine also makes a good partner to desserts such as apple strudel.
WINEMAKING & MATURATION
The grapes were harvested by hand in February at sugar levels of 24° Balling. After clarification of the juice, inoculation with a selected yeast started the fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. The fermentation temperature was controlled at around 16-18°C and lasted for 18 days before the wine was racked and readied for bottling. The first bottling of 20 316 bottles took place on 14 May 2024.
