The Sixties Block White 2024 Tasting NoteWine Making
Harvested on the 6th March, berry samples from each of 17 varieties were regularly tasted before the decision to pick. Six rows did not make the cut. Gentle handling through the winery and a cool ferment preserved the flavours. A delicate year long maturation in used French barriques and puncheons helped emphasise the texture and fruit in this unique blend.
Cellaring
A perfect match for all cold seafood driven tapas, such as Mussels Escabeche, white anchovies crostini,or warm dishes such as salt cod croquettes, or a appatiser of crunchy sea salt sprinkled Fritto Misto with Meyer lemon aioli. Enjoy now or over the next couple of years.
