Our second year working with this fruit, we decided to keep it simple and find out just how similar Aligote and Chardonnay are. Made in exactly the same way as all of our single vineyard Chardonnay, this fruit was crushed and destemmed into the press where it soaked on skins for a couple of hours. Juice was settled overnight before being racked to small old oak for fermentation and maturation. T
TASTING NOTE
Having worked so hard to reduce the ‘fruity’ Sauvignon charters, we are excited to enjoy the nose of subtle green herbs (basil), lemon and peas edging around a wonderfully expressive nose of lees, apples, and subtle green stone fruits. The palate is consistent with the note. Hints of blossom, green apples and citrus.
