Nose: delicate tropical and sweet floral notes, together with hints of
fresh cut grass.
Palate: contrasting the gentle nose is a fresh fruit density and a citric
mouth feel. Lime hints follow with a crisp finish. A nice texture
evolving the complexity in the classic Ant More genre.
Vinification: patchy flowering in spring resulted in loose grape
bunches and lower bunch numbers. Combine this with relentlessly fine
weather, ultra dry conditions, and a strong diurnal range in March, you
couldn’t have asked for better conditions. Yield was down but the fruit was
beautifully rich and ripe, and flavours across the fruit spectrum.
Wine Makers Notes: some fruit parcels were fermented in old French
barriques, with others in stainless steel. After fermentation components were
racked and the individual parcels held separate on light lees to retain
freshness. The oak component was kept on fermentation lees to further fill-out
the palate and promote depth of character.
Winemaking Philosophy: all our growers are certified sustainable, with
viticulturists bent on an organic and natural approach where possible.
Dovetailing that nicely are our winemakers’ low intervention approach to their
crafting of the grapes.
