Grown on a '45-degree north-facing "roasted slope"', the 2020 vintage (4.5*) was matured for over a year in French oak casks (25 per cent new). Deeply coloured, it is a very energetic, boldly fruity young red, mouthfilling and supple, with strong, ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, showing excellent harmony and potential. Certified organic.
