2023 White

Ferox White. Our honest and authentic representation of vineyard. Each vintage, the blend shifts, paying respect to what grew well in our vineyards, but also what balances the wine in every parameter. Introducing our 2023 White, which is a conscientious blend of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. The primary aromatics are dominated with mango, pineapple and lychee, with subtle notes of peach, lemon and Kanpei mandarins. The palate mirrors the nose, with a evident profile of Galia melon, Lima orange and candied lemon. The acid is bright, with a pronounced finish – this is a white to be enjoyed as a stand-alone or paired with food to accentuate both components of the pairing.

The Sauvignon Blanc in this blend was picked on the 29th of September, and the Riesling on the 20th of October at 7am respectively, utilizing a machine harvester with an optical sorter attached. The different cultivars were fermented between 3-4 weeks, no greater than 18°C. Post-ferment, both wines were racked off gross lees, and aged on fine lees for 10 months. Bâtonnage occurred once every month, using carbon dioxide, to increase texture and weight of the blend. After aging, both wines went through assemblage, fining, filtration and bottling on February 28th, 2025.
