December 2020 (Vintage 2020)

There are aromas of lime pie and some light fresh herbs, as well as white peach and pastry. The palate has impressive concentration and deep-set lime and sweet apple flavors. Treads the off-dry line nicely. Super fresh, pithy resolve. From biodynamically grown grapes.

November 2020 (Vintage 2020)

Generous and tender with its delicate nose of white talc, nectarine and red apple fruit. It is pure and offers excellent clarity. Medium-sweet in style (56g/L), it has a line of acidity that acts like a claw holding the wine together. Seductive and structural with a lengthy finish; open this at breakfast and it’ll be gone before coffee break.
