Vinification
After the varietal was picked, it was de-stemmed and crushed. The juice was settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks using a few different inoculated yeasts. Frequent stirring was done throughout fermentation and post fermentation, allowing the solids to flesh out the palate. The wine was then cold settled and stabilized before bottling.

Tasting Note
Tropical notes of pineapple, melon, gooseberry, and pink grapefruit with subtle hints of guava and lychee. On the nose, the subtle aroma of salt air hints at the vineyard’s coastal proximity. The palate begins softly, opening up to bright citrus flavors akin to starburst candies, finishing with a refreshing dryness reminiscent of crisp peach. A balanced and nuanced experience, capturing the essence of tropical fruits and the seaside with finesse.
