2023 Dazzles of Light

PH 3.47, TA 5.9 g/l, 12.32% ABV. Mango, lime, and a little clean grass and fresh thyme, chalk, creamy lemon curd, white peach, honeycomb, and a little leesy brioche. It is really delicious. Grapes were direct pressed and settled 24 hours then racked off lees into neutral French oak barrels for spontaneous primary and malolactic fermentation. Filtered and cold stabilized. 

"93 Points. The fleshy Chardonnay elements dominate but are brightened by Sauvignon Blanc and Melon de Bourgogne. All three varieties combine wonderfully—rich, tangy citrus aromatics with Meyer lemon pulp, clover honey and a chalky minerality. The palate carries the weight of Chardonnay, accented by the Melon de Bourgogne's mouthfeel and lifted by a brightness from the Sauvignon Blanc. Tropical pineapple flavours cut against tart lemon, green mangoes and a succulent mandarin pulp finish." - Clive Pursehouse, Decanter
