About this product
We purposely picked this variety quite early to capture the floral aromas and the variety’s renowned acidity. Lightly pressed, fermented with wild yeast and prepared for bottling with minimal interference. We would liken it most to a Riesling in style but with its own floral/spicy varietal characters and a bit more texture….try it for yourself!

Light bodied white wines have a water-light mouthfeel. Often very pale to light colour.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

‘Simply made like a riesling, wild yeast giving a little texture' says Ewan Campbell. I'd go further - the flavours aren't deep, but persist like sucking a lemon. This marrigage of acidity and various skinsy/pippy notes is par for the course.

Light, bright yellow colour; dusty straw-like bouquet, savoury. The palate is light and dry, sapidity galore, with a slight grip, the finish clean and appetising. It really stimulates the appetite. A very appealing dry white.
