The 2012 vintage (4.5*) is a full-bodied, richly scented, medium style with a strong presence. Partly (15 per cent) fermented with indigenous yeasts in old oak casks, it has concentrated, ripe stone-fruit flavours, peachy and slightly gingery, a gentle splash of sweetness (15 grams/litre of residual sugar), fresh acidity and a finely balanced, faintly honeyed finish. Still youthful, it should mature gracefully for several years.
