- Citrus
- Pleasing texture
"Certified organic, wild ferment, single vineyard and vegan friendly. 35% fermented in old puncheons. Malolactic fermentation in barrel with lees stirring. Winemaker, Clive Dougall, wanted to "turn the volume down." Quite a pleasing texture with floral, elderflower and citrus flavours supported by a backbone of slightly hard acidity and noticeable phenolics" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review, Sep 2019
"Certified organic, the 2020 vintage (4.5*) is a single-vineyard wine, partly (35 per cent) fermented in seasoned French oak puncheons. Bright, light yellow/green, it is medium to full-bodied, with strong, ripe tropical-fruit flavours, showing a distinct touch of complexity, and a dry finish. Drink now or cellar. The 2019 vintage (4.5*), harvested from 20-year-old vines, was also partly (35 per cent) barrel-fermented. Ripely scented, it is a fresh and lively, medium to full-bodied wine, with ripe, non-herbaceous flavours, showing excellent vigour and intensity" Michael Cooper, Buyer's Guide
Made from Certified Organic Sauvignon Blanc grapes.
