White pear flesh and grapefruit citrus characteristics from the Semillon, Chardonnay brings some stone fruit flesh and greater middle palate weight and a softness from maturation in neutral oak barrels. A granny smith green apple tang driving the acidity with a lovely chalky texture to finish.

Winemaking

Both Semillon and Chardonnay were hand harvested, chilled in a cool rom overnight and whole bunch pressed. This gives us the finest juice with minimal phenolics or grip. Fermentation in old oak barrels lending weight and texture.
