Colour: Freshly melted butter

Nose:  Fresh pineapple, lemon curd & hops.

Palate: The amphora component contributes to the soft, earthy notes and the french oak offers the wine length and warmth. This wine sees no additions in the winery apart from a small amount of sulfur at bottling, capturing the cooler season.
