The J 2024

The palate is focussed, yet layered, with pronounced minerality that lends tension and precision. Stone fruit flavors unfold with a savoury, almost saline continuity, complemented by well-integrated oak tones of charred wood and almond husk. The texture is firm and structured, with a long, spice-laced finish that shows off the wine’s aging potential.
This is a serious, contemplative white that rewards time in the glass, ideal for pairing with spicy dishes or hard cheeses

Description

This distinctive white blend from our estate composed of 60% Viognier and 40% Sémillon, offers a complex and compelling profile. Fermented partially in amphora and French oak hogsheads, the wine strikes a balance between traditional texture and modern purity. On the nose, it opens with austere aromas of grilled pineapple and white peach, underpinned by toasted nuts and subtle oak notes. There’s a shy, confected edge – dried mango or candied citrus that adds intrigue without overwhelming.
