100% barrel fermented and aged, under 15% new oak. It comes from two vineyards: one has volcanic soils from which they used to make a rather big New World-style wine, the other is a much higher vineyard from which they used to make a lighter more acidic wine. The weingut decided to blend the vineyards for more balance.

It smells like zesty lemon cheesecake, with soft tropical papaya and melon flavours with a fine seam of acidity and some herbs lurking underneath. Elegant and smooth. (Written by Tamlyn Currin - JancisRobinson.com)
