“Pure, fresh and ripe with scents of green pear and apple, there’s a faint flinty quality immediately before aromas of mineral water and wet stone, white flowers and a fine lees quality. Equally youthful as the wine touches the palate with flavours of quince, tart pear, lemon and apple flavours. There’s a light lees quality and floral lift on the finish. Well made, dry and lengthy with a saline finish. Best drinking from 2025 through 2034.”  93 Points Cameron Douglas, April 2024

Mature vines, hand harvested, gently whole bunch pressed and wild fermented in neutral French oak barrels. Fragrant cut pear, rock melon, fresh ginger aromas. The medium-full bodied palate is bright and refined with white nectarine and soft lemon/orange curd creaminess, appealingly soft and sweet-fruited. There’s a nutty, mealy richness from barrel ferment and extended time on yeast lees. Mouthfeel is expansive and velvet-textured with a balance between the soft opulence of ripe fruits and a pervasive mineral clarity with notes of licorice /aniseed and spice.
