Glen Garvald PB White Blend No.2 2022

Aroma: elderflower, green tea, chamomile, kiwifruit, and lemon zest with underlying savoury elements of flint and lovage.
Palate: Restrained yet mouth-filling. Acidity, fruit weight and subtle phenolics drive the palate through to a lingering finish with flavours of pine-lime splice, tarragon, and crème fraiche.

Fruit was hand-picked, hand-sorted, and whole-bunch pressed. Each variety was pressed and fermented separately in small batch lots prior to ageing separately in oak. Volumes of Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc were fermented in concrete tulips for additional structure, savouriness, and complexity. Fermentation commenced naturally with varietally-suited commercial yeast types pitched in part-way through. A small number of barrels were encouraged to complete malolactic fermentation. All barrels aged on lees for 15 months prior to blending for bottling.
