The elegant 2020 vintage (5*) is from Palliser's original vineyard (replanted in 2005). Hand-picked, it was fermented and matured for a year in French oak casks. A very classy, youthful wine, it is mouthfilling, with rich, vibrant grapefruit and peach flavours, mealy notes, impressive delicacy and complexity, and a finely balanced, lasting finish. Best drinking 2023+.
