Nose

The 2013 Equitem opens with aromas of juicy melon and lemon zest that lead to flavors of orange blossom and passion fruit, a lingering impression of Asian pear.

Palate

Its refined natural acidity is complemented by a mineral character that is fast becoming a hallmark of this vineyard.

Winemaking

Aged Sur Lie for six months in 55% neutral French oak (5% new oak),45% in stainless steel tanks. Wines stirred twice per week in barrels and weekly in the tank to develop a complex mouthfeel.
