- DEFIALY means 'Don't Ever Forget I'll Always Love You', and comes from sign-offs on the letters and notes shared between winemaker Micah Hewitt's parents. Micah's path to wine hasn't been a typical one: starting as a butcher, then getting into gourmet food and wine, he was bitten by the wine bug and needed to give it a go. Thankfully he did, because over the last few years he's been making quite a name for himself, producing unfiltered/unfined wild ferment wines of impressive depth and character. The Pale Blue Eyes is 100% Victorian Pyrenees Chardonnay, fermented half in barrel and half in amphora. Awesome zero addition Chardonnay! As Micah says with this one, it's all about the fruit:
"The fruit takes centre stage here rather than winemaking an/or new oak - fresh zippy acidity, ripe stone fruits, smooth honeyed hint of oak & nuttiness." - Defialy
