Other Reviews….
Estate-grown, multi-clone, hand-picked, fermented and matured in French oak (40% new). It is indeed (as claimed) a complete wine, delivering power and length with ease; the white peach and grapefruit flavour streams share the honours, and together have made light work of the oak. Drink by 2026.
