Tasting Notes
Light, bright pale straw, green hues. |
|
Orange blossom, dried ginger and mixed citrus peel. |
|
Sitting in the orange citrus spectrum, mandarin and tangerine framed with florals and ginger spice. A beautiful natural acidity along with a distinct minerality provide the palate with texture and length. A wine that has clarity, purity and shows our site well. Drink now or cellar until 2040. |

Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed to two stainless steel tanks. The juice was then cold settled and racked with a small proportion of fluffy lees. Each of the two parcels are left on gross-lees for a period of four months to further build complexity and mouthfeel around the definitive ‘Langi’ acidity. The wine was then racked, blended and bottled in early July 2019. |

Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, two tank ferments with different yeasts fermented to dryness. Pretty wine/lovely al fresco drink...
