Estate-grown, the youthful, vigorous 2020 vintage (4*) was harvested from young vines and fermented in French oak barriques (12.5 per cent new). Bright, light yellow/green, with strong, lemony scents, it is mouthfilling and citrusy, with some peachy notes, good concentration of flavour, considerable complexity, firm acid spine and a tightly structured finish. Best drinking 2024+.
