This expression embodies grace, with aromas of fresh pear, white peach, jasmine, and violet framed by a subtle vein of pulverized seashell and chalk. The palate is guided by mouthwatering acidity and fine mousse, carrying citrus oils and crushed stone with quiet precision into a long, elegant finish. Proper aeration allows the mineral edges to open fully, delivering an irresistible and finely tuned sip.

Offers punchy pomegranate and cherry fruit, with good energy pushing everything along as iris and apple wood accents help fuel the finish. A crowd-pleaser. Drink now through 2031. 6,640 cases made.

Chalk and ink on the nose. More terse than the 2023; more savoury; blacker, inkier fruit. Elderberry and thyme. Curt tannins, pushing the fruit back behind a stone wall, leaving just-cut-winter-hedgerow stemminess and astringency. But given a bit of time and air, some sweeter, more perfumed notes appear, showing rose hips and hibiscus. I might be tempted to leave this in bottle another year. But definitely decant, and needs careful food pairing – keeps things very simple, avoid spices, sweetness and sauces. Maybe rare roast beef with a side of simple, buttered greens.

Masses of capsicum on the nose. High acidity, taut and tart, competing with the bright redcurrant and blackcurrant fruit. It’s on the lean side, but smart, modern, refreshing.

Beautiful red-plum, sage and brick-dust nose. Refined, ripe but not voluptuous, understated dignity. Very finely knit tannins running parallel with a long, graphite-and-loam, mineral-and-earth backbone. Silky finish.
