The Wine:
Both varieties are 100% Whole bunch pressed, settled in tank overnight, chilled and racked the next day to barrel. No additions are made to this juice which is left to naturally ferment in its own time. It spends around 10 months in majority older oak, after which it is blended to tank where it spent another 7 months settling.
A poised amalgam of cashew nut, green melon, green walnut, flint and chalk are all present. White florals play around the edges of the front palate. The time on lees lends a silky palate with texture and gentle structure. Bright and fresh, the acidity is an essential part of the length, persistence and longevity of this wine.
The Review:
Mike Bennie, The Wine Front - 94pts
"Lovely is a word that delivers an arguably lightweight description of a wine, but this really is lovely. It’s soft and supple, there’s fresh cut stone fruit, ripe lemon, grapefruit, gentle oatmeal and vanilla notes, light, toasty, sweet spices, a lick of chestnut cream and a touch of briny minerality. Fantastic. Just so. Delivers the goods in complexity of flavour and texture while managing very high drinkability. Proper stuff."
