Tasting Notes
Aroma
Cold smoke and flinty gravels lead into a subdued nose of ripe grapefruit, pears and
honeydew melon.
Appearance
Pale straw in colour.
Palate
A focussed and linear backbone of acidity carries ripe citrus notes and subtle smoky
complex characters. Extended elevage on lees has imparted hallmark cashew and
mealy flavours and chalky textures.
Vinification
Hand picked and whole bunch pressed to tank for 24 hours of settling prior to eighteen
months fermentation and aging in mostly older French Oak barrels. 100% natural
ferment. Bottled without fining and only minimal filtration.
Cellaring Potential
Drinks beautifully now or can be cellared for 10+ years.
Vintage Notes
A warm growing season with very dry conditions between January and April with only 45mm falling (less than
30% of the average). A season which will be remembered for other reasons however, with a global pandemic
affecting staffing movements and logistics but one where calm decision making and patience resulted in perfect
ripening conditions, and a very rewarding season. One of the best the region has experienced in recent years.
