The preceding winter was unusually dry, with frosty nights and clear days. The rain instead came in spring, and the luxuriantly growing vines benefited from the greenhouse effect. The indicators were of a hot, dry summer, although only a serious burst
of heat was experienced in mid-January and again at the end of February; otherwise,
it was a mild summer, which had a significant delaying effect on the ripening process. An early onset of autumn caused a late harvest, with average yields, good to
exceptional quality and intense flavour in the grapes.

A delicate, fragrant bouquet,exhibiting lavender florals with hints of bath talc, rose petal, lychee and spicy notes of cardamon and caraway.

The rich, full, sweet-fruited palate is balanced by a long, clean, crisp acid finish.

Gold in colour.

Fermented in tank and bottled post-vintage (no oak or tank maturation) to preserve the wine’s fruit characters.
