Obscura White 2024 blends Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin Blanc from dryland Darling vineyards. The grapes ferment naturally in qvevri with extended skin contact, creating a golden-amber white wine with depth, texture and pure varietal character.
Obscura White 2024 pairs well with roasted vegetables, Mediterranean dishes, grilled fish or earthy cheeses that match its texture and intensity.
Obscura White 2024 shows a straw-yellow colour with a subtle amber tinge. The nose offers peach, spices and bruised apple, with hints of pawpaw and nuts. The palate brings citrus, bright acidity and broad tannins that add structure and texture, finishing dry and expressive.
Obscura White 2024 blends Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Chenin Blanc from dryland vineyards in Darling. The team destems each variety and crushes the grapes gently into qvevri. Fermentation starts naturally within a few days and runs for about two weeks. They punch down the cap by hand with a wooden tool four times a day to build texture and flavour.
After fermentation, the wine stays on the skins for six months. This long contact creates deep phenolics and its golden-amber colour. Gentle punch-downs continue through this stage. The team pushed the skin contact further than ever before, and the wine now shows clear depth and complexity. They add nothing to the wine and rely fully on its own grape tannins for stability. The wine goes into bottle unfined and unfiltered, so natural sediment may appear.
