Description

  • Dry style
  • Grapefruit
  • Honeydew melon
  • Crisp finish

Pale straw with green hues on the rim of the glass. Lifted citrus characters of grapefruit and lime zest,with hints of honeydew melon, alongside notes of green apple. Upfront citrus on the palate, racy grapefruit balanced with crunchy Granny Smith apple, and subtle grassy notes. Well balanced acid, giving a crisp, clean finish.

The fruit was crushed and de-stemmed, then gently pressed to maximise flavour retention and avoid extraction of phenolic compounds. Fermentation occurs at cool temperatures, between 13-18 °C, to retain varietal characteristics. Post fermentation the wine is matured in stainless steel tanks. Post primary fermentation components for the blend are carefully selected, blended, stabilised and clarified.

In the winery a cheeky little pig started to make a name for himseld. Random mischevious acts were being encountered, often acompanied by a glimpse of a curly tailed behind scrambling away with the cutest of little snorts. The winemakers could not help but love this little character; so much so that they named a wine after him.

I'll have to get back to you as I haven't opened a bottle yet. Price and origin are the best bet, like this little pig. Hopefully the sun will shine again and I can have lunch outside, maybe wishful thinking!
