Shy Susan Blanc de Blanc 2018 750ml

Sourced from a mature vineyard on the Tasman Peninsula. Hand picked (an excruciating task with such tiny bunches) and whole bunch pressed, then filled to barrel with all the goodness of full solids. Fermentation occurs in barrel with a combination of selected wine yeasts. Wines are aged on lees for 9 months, with minimal stirring and sulphur added as required to each individual barrel. Some malolactic fermentation was also allowed to occur during maturation. Continuing in the style of previous releases of this wine, no new oak was used. Instead a combination of one year old and older oak ensures a seamless integration and harmonious balance.

Aromas of grapefruit, peach, spice and grilled nut. An intensely flavoured palate with a mealy savoury aspect and focused acidity.

Optimal Drink Window – 2026 – 2031.
