Light Dreams 2023

Tasting notes

Aromas of red berries, toffee apple and marzipan sit alongside hints of chocolate cake and cherry. There’s a gentle savoury note from the stems, plus a flinty edge that keeps things interesting. On the palate it’s soft and pillowy, full of juicy red fruit, with a bright citrus lift on the finish thanks to a splash of Chardonnay in the blend.

Smells like:

Red berries, toffee apple, marzipan, cherry.

Tastes like:

Red plums, sour cherry, tomato leaf, light chocolate notes and fresh citrus.

The finish:

Bright, juicy and refreshing — especially when served chilled.

A Merlot base which was wholebunch fermented (naturally) for 7 days, with 8%
already fermenting Chardonnay added as a co-fermentation. Once pressed the
barrels were topped with small amounts of Pinot Gris, Marsanne, Pinot Noir,
Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and the wine was left alone and bottled in September
2023. No tinkering or additions were made.
