Welcome rain in late summer brought relief to the exceptionally warm, dry year and allowed the fruit to stay vibrant and healthy. We have used traditional Burgundian methods to make this wine, including natural primary and secondary (malo-lactic) fermentations by indigenous micro-organisms in French oak puncheons.
The wine shows a complex interplay of aromas and flavours. There are the primary elements derived from the fruit, suggesting lemons, limes, green-gages and peaches. These are intertwined with whiffs of wood smoke, barbequed sweet corn and grilled bacon. It has a soft palate entry but then gradually seems to expand in the mouth to become rich and full bodied. A back-bone of minerality and grapefruit-like acidity keep it tight knit and focused, drawing out its length. While ready to drink on release it should develop a range of additional nuances with careful cellaring.
Wine is a natural health food
