Barrels sourced from Saint Romain, 40% new French oak, methodical bâtonnage, and a concrete egg fermentation on high solids: every decision here is deliberate, and the wine reflects it. Layered aromas of citrus flowers and lemon curd meld with brioche, nutmeg and baking spices, while a complex saline undercurrent runs beneath the creamy texture, keeping everything focused and alive. The mouthfeel is harmonious and seamless, the finish sophisticated and expansive. Cellaring potential through to 2029–2034.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole bunch pressed in a vertical basket and fermented on high solids in a concrete egg using a combination of indigenous and selected house yeasts. Matured for 12 months in carefully curated French oak barrels from Saint Romain, Burgundy, with methodical bâtonnage throughout. Bottled under ultra-premium 1by1 natural cork - a fitting closure for a wine of this calibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrayfish with beurre blanc, pan-seared scallops, roast chicken with cream sauce, or aged gruyère.
