"Beautiful fragrant aromas of violet and dried rose petals. Smells alive and expressive with hints of forest floor and some dried leaves and soil. Smooth and so juicy, this is both calm and relaxed but effortlessly pure and streamlined - like a gentle caress. It’s packed full of flavour, this is not lacking in nuance or depth, with such layering of flavour and even though it has an element of lift it still carries a wide mouthfeel. Just heavenly with a crushed stone aspect on the finish. 3.71pH. Ageing 14 months, 31% new oak." - Georgina Hindle (08/2025)

"Medium weight, sinewy tannins, great freshness and lift, thoroughly enjoyable, cherry bud, white pepper, sage, black cherry, crushed rose petals. A challenging vintage, around 25% of usual production, but a highly successful result. Julien Grounds chief winemaker since 2019." (07/2025)
