Still a baby, the 2020 vintage (5*) was grown on a south-facing hillside, planted in 1986. Hand-picked and fermented in a single, three year-old oak puncheon, it was bottled unfined and unfiltered. A tightly structured, medium-bodied wine, it has intense, peachy flavours, threaded with appetising acidity, and a very long finish. Set for a long life, it's well worth cellaring to mid-2024+. Certified organic.
