Soil: Sandy topsoil sitting on top of a thick layer of excellent smectite clay.

Vintage: This vintage is a family favourite – it was a wine of two vintages, that started off as a dry growing season, creating small intensely flavoured grapes. Hand picking was interrupted halfway by a deluge of rain for 7 days, and so the balance of grapes picked were of a very different character and the final blend took some time to come together, but in maturity is superb.

Winemaking: Handpicked, barrel fermented and matured on lees for 9 months in new French oak.

Notes: Gentle toasty aromas mingle with peach, citrus, exotic lotus and elderflower with hints of green tea, flinty minerality and crisp acidity.
