Grape Moscato

Available from May 2019 - Preorder now as these wines will be on allocation...

A dry aromatic white, an orange wine technically, from 100% Moscato. 60 days on grape skins.

Hand-picked Moscato from the heart of the Monferrato, West of Nizza, Piedmont, NW Italy. 25% whole bunch fermentation in stainless steel with natural indigenous yeasts. A slow fermentation needing no temperature control, the mass of the skins preventing diurnal peaks and troughs. The wine was left on the grape skins for a further 6 weeks post fermentation before gentle pressing in a traditional basket press. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered, with the minimum addition of sulphur.

Deeply golden and a touch hazy in the glass. Floral and aromatic with classic grapey aromas backed up with tangerine pith, honeysuckle, lavender and a spicy edge of clove and cinnamon. The palate is intense and dry with mid-palate weight and salinity; all that is promised on the nose is delivered. Extraordinarily persistent and opening out as the bottle is open longer.
