Certified organic, the highly aromatic 2018 vintage (4.5*) was mostly handled in tanks; 10 per cent was fermented in old oak barrels. It is a fresh, medium to full-bodied wine, with vigorous peach, lime and herb flavours, barrel-ferment notes adding richness, crisp acidity, and excellent intensity and complexity. The 2019 vintage (4*) was handled without oak. Bright, light lemon/green, it is fresh and lively, mouthfilling and sweet-fruited, with good intensity of ripe, tropical-fruit flavours, and a basically dry (below 5 grams/litre of residual sugar) finish.
