From 30 year old vines with fermentation taking place in 33% new French oak puncheons and 67% stainless steel tanks followed by maturation on lees for a period of 8 months. Brilliant pale straw colour with flecks of straw green around the edges and a watery hue. Lemon butter, lime and pear scents have a subtle toast overlay with some steely mineral notes also evident. Tense and steely, the palate features lemon and lime fruits over a gentle toast and flinty mineral back drop. Crisp acidity with a dry, taut finish.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.

Other Reviews…..
A component is fermented and aged in new French oak puncheons, adding texture and depth to an otherwise lemon-accented and fairly racy wine. Aromatic with lemon blossom and a smidge of hay, lightly spiced, and an even lighter spray of nutty lees across the palate. And, yes, acidity is very much at work here. Drink by 2031.
