The 2013 vintage (5*) was estate-grown and hand-picked in Mere Road, and matured for 10 months in two French oak puncheons and a new French oak barrique. A classy, vibrantly fruity and finely poised wine, likely to be long-lived, it has concentrated, peachy, citrusy flavours, balanced toasty oak, and excellent structure and length. Open mid-2016+.
