Tasting notes
The 2023 release is all about clarity and poise. There’s richness to the fruit, no doubt, but the winemaking is restrained - wild ferment, old oak, no heavy-handed tricks - letting the vineyard do the talking. This isn’t a buttery bruiser, nor is it ultra-mineral or lean. It’s somewhere in between: savoury, refreshing, quietly complex, and very moreish.
