A slow and cool ferment occurred and once complete the wine remained on its full lees with battonage until bottling in December 2024.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGranche Blanc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpert Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGary Walsh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Pointsout of 100.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePear, honeydew melon, some aromatic herbs and spice.
