White Wine Duo
White wine lover? This duo strikes the perfect balance between full & round and crisp & clean.
Kyra - 2022 Sauvignon Blanc (Bordeaux) A clean, crisp wine with a lovely texture and freshness, tropical notes with passion fruit and melon. The grapes were 100% whole bunch pressed and the juice transferred to stainless steel. We then inoculated the juice with 2 yeast strains, one New-World, one Old World. Post fermentation the wine is kept on lees in tank and given very light batonnage. Kyra is then filtered. No malolactic on this wine
Amy - 2021 Chardonnay (Lombardy) Think Burgundy with a London twist. One for those who like the classics but appreciate things move with the times. The oak contact lends a creaminess to the wine with a lovely mouthfeel, still the wine maintains a freshness and minerality that strikes a gorgeous balance with ripe stone fruits on the palate.
50% of the grapes were whole bunch pressed and fermented in old oak ex Burgundy (90%) and new French oak barrels (10%). The other 50% was de-stemmed by hand and fermented on the skins. Barrel aged for 7 months and went through full malolactic fermentation.
Weekly batonnage was applied to resuspend the lees. Bottled unfiltered and unfined with minimal additions of SO2 to prevent oxidation.
