After a mild winter and early spring with little rain, temperatures dropped in April and there were high levels of precipitation. A warm June and July allowed grapes an extended ripening season with optimal levels of sunshine and cool nights.
 
Once at the winery, the grapes were gently pressed, with the majority undergoing fermentation in temperature controlled, stainless-steel vats and the remaining in small oak barriques. After fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for about five months before bottling, to add complexity and body.
 
This wine is straw yellow in colour. Its fruity, spicy aromas are reminiscent of ripe apples, wild flowers and fresh bread crust. Strong yet elegant in structure, this Pinot Bianco has well-balanced acidity and is framed by a sweet, round richness and great length.
