Certified organic, the fragrant, energetic 2020 vintage (5*) is a single-vineyard wine, hand-harvested in the Southern Valleys and fermented in a mix of stainless steel tanks and old oak barrels. Still very youthful, it is mouthfilling, with concentrated, peachy, slightly spicy flavours, showing good complexity, and a crisp, fully dry (1 gram/litre of residual sugar), long finish. Best drinking 2024+.
