Grapes are hand and
machine harvested from 30 year old Sauvignon Blanc vines within a 22 hectarevineyard on the hill
of St Andelain on a mix of Silex and Kimmerigian clay. The estate undertakes
disease and pest
control measures by maintaining natural balance ("lutte raisonnée")
and works the soil
in a traditional way.
Individual parcels are vinified separately. The grapes are gently pressed
pneumatically. Prior
to fermentation in stainless steel tanks, the must is naturally clarified by
cold
stabilisation and
some of the grapes are macerated on the skins for a short period to maximise
flavour
complexity. Either
wild or selected yeasts are used, depending on conditions - indigenous yeasts
are
believed to add more
character. The fermentation is cool and slow over 3 weeks and the wine remains
on the fine lees. The gravity fed cellar
is on two levels and all temperature controlled.
Linty and herbal,
this is a concentrated wine yet with real elegance, complexity and power.
Best served chilled
with shellfish, grilled white fish or chicken and soft cheeses or on its own as
an aperitif.
