About this wine

Early rains gave way to a growing season with moderate temperatures and plenty of sun. The Spring Equinox marks the start of every season with the awakening of the vines at budburst, leading through to the inescapable conclusion at the Autumn Equinox when the vine once again shuts down for the winter.

Tasting Note

Colour: Pale straw

Nose: Delicate spice, ginger crunch and nashi pear.

Palate: Delicate pear and ginger/spice flavours, supported by good weight and viscosity combine to flow through the palate resulting in a lingering, unctuous finish.

Serve: Slightly chilled (and with a second bottle!)

Food Match: Asian pear salad complete with ginger, vanilla beans & baby greens

Viticulture: All the fruit for this wine came from the Glasnevin Vineyard, grown by Jean-Luc Dufour and his crew.

Maturation: Two fruit parcels were used for this wine, both were hand picked and whole bunch pressed. The best juice from this fruit was left to settle naturally and then half was fermented in old oak barrels, while the remainder was fermented in a stainless steel tank, these different methods increased greater complexity and interest in the wine.
