About He’e Nalu (Inspired by the island of Oahu) ...................................................................................... Open a bottle of He’e Nalu and be transported to an iconic crescent beach in Oahu, the birthplace of big wave surfing. This wine reflects the wave’s beauty and power with fruity and herbal spicy notes. Tasting notes ...................................................................................... Color: Light golden yellow Aroma: Cool fragrance of lychee and herbs, hints of passion-fruit and citrus fruit Palate: Savory and lively freshness, fine finish with pronounced acidity and herbal echo In the vineyard ...................................................................................... Following a warm January, February and March were very cool, resulting in vines budding late. The second-warmest spring since the beginning of recorded weather led to a conspicuously early flowering in mid- to late May, an early advance in the vegetation cycle that then persisted throughout the hot summer. The consistently hot and dry weather led to the earliest harvest in memory. 2018 gave us fully ripened and rich in extract wines. The aromatic varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc turned out to be typically expressive. Winemaking notes ...................................................................................... Hand-picked, de-stemmed, lightly crushed and selected yeast. Cold maturation for 30 hours. Gentle pressing, fermentation in stainless steel for 30 days at 60-68°F, maturation in stainless steel vats on the fine lees for 6 months.
