2024 "Jaybird" Bianco Macerato

The combination of fruit forward, acid driven and aromatic varieties, combined with extended skin contact, creates a wine that is at once thought provoking, interesting, but also refreshing and delicious. Pine/lime Splice on the nose, the Malvasia really pops through up front. Mongo sorbet creaminess and tropical fruit open up the palate, while a gentle, round tannin, subtle bitterness and balanced acidity give great length to wine. Party at the front, business at the back, sort of deal.

The Bianco Macerato is an easy drinking, approachable skin contact white wine. Each parcel was fermented separately – the Fiano is pressed off skins straight away, while the other parcels were fermented on skins until sugar dry, up to 14 days. Each parcel was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation and settle out before being blended just prior to bottling.
