2023 Hell Macerato

The Hell Series wines represent our experimentation with winemaking techniques, and allow the fruit to express different, unique and compelling characteristics.

The Macerato is our homage to the skin contact white wines we revere so much - Arinto and Malvasia the perfect varieties for the task. Acid driven and fresh, but with a fruitiness that stand up alongside the structure and tannin, the fruit is fermented on skins until sugar dry, then blended skins and all and sealed for another 5 weeks before being pressed off to old oak for the winter months.

Golden hued in the glass, tropical fruits – almost pineapple syrup – jumps out, with a nice nutty savouriness in the background. Plush fruit on the palate overlayed with tannin and fuzz, the gentle oak aging rounding out the hard corners to create a moreish and very drinkable orange wine, perfect alongside gnocchi with duck ragu, or an herbaceous massaman curry.
