This baby, born in 2015, is the progeny from the quintet of white varietals on the farm.
A blend of old vine Chenin planted in 74 & 78, Sauvignon Blanc 83, Chardonnay 97, Semillon 97 and Colombar 88.
My dream was to create a white blend to partner the Vitruvian. The first name that came to mind was “New Baby”. I wrote this on
the barrels and so the first vintage was born. The follow up 2016 vintage is a little more classic in style. Not quite as voluptuous as
the 2015 but with a precision and complexity of flavor that draws you into the wine. The 2017 vintage is in between both these pvs
vintages in terms of style and weight. It has the added dimension of some great phenolic tension.
RATINGS & REVIEWS | First vintage has been given 5 stars in the
Platter Wine guide. Tim Atkin Review gave it 95 points and
selected it as one of the top white wines.
FOOD PAIRING | Delicate and rich at the same time this is a
wine that can be enjoyed on its own and with something
delicious from the ocean. Scallops for sure!
