Ahearne Wild Skins White 2017

Description

From Bogdanuška (translates Gift from God), Kuć and Pošip.  The first two varieties are rather neutral in character, so Jo decided to experiment with extended maceration to build a deeper flavour profile.  A range of skin contact times are blended together here, from 10 days to a tiny portion which sees 340 days.  Additionally, based on the Champagne experience, additional components with extended lees contact are also included, most notably a tiny portion of the previous vintage wine which sees some 21 months on solids – this component bringing in some amazing non-oak derived toastiness.
