Winemakers Comments: Vintage 2024 was just about the perfect vintage. Warm but not too hot, and bone dry during the growing season, was welcome change from the past couple of years, allowing the fruit to ripen steadily. Meanwhile, cool nights kept acids and freshness high. With decent yields across the board, we had flexibility in our winemaking, selecting the best parcels and blending to make a suite of wines we are super stoked with, and excited to share with the world.
The Bianco Macerato is an easy drinking, approachable skin contact white wine. Each parcel was fermented separately – the Fiano was pressed off skins straight away, while the others parcels were fermented on skins until sugar dry, up to 14 days. Each parcel was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and settle out before being blended just prior to bottling.
Style/Palate: The combination of fruit forward, acid driven and aromatic varieties, combined with extended skin contact, creates a wine that at once thought provoking, interesting, but also refreshing and delicious.
Gentle, round tannin, subtle bitterness and balanced acidity give great length to wine.
Aormas: Pine/lime Splice, Mango sorbet creaminess and tropical fruit
Award/Score : Wine Front – 89 point (2022 Vintage)
