"An enjoyable and impressive wine, super juicy, raspberry and damson fruits, well balanced with tension and a climb through the palate set against a wash of cedar oak. Harvest September 15 to 29. 33% new oak. 3.5ph." (04/2026)

"Oak elements on the nose with ripe blackcurrant fruit, dried herbs, black pepper, floral violets and peonies. Smooth and velvety, this is full of bright red berry fruit and softly chalky tannins. A really delicate style with precision at the fore - lots of purity and clarity with the acidity driving the wine forward. Polished and well controlled, still a little tight perhaps but all straightforward, giving width without any heaviness. I like this a lot. Fun, friendly, precise and controlled. Ends minty and stony. Clay and some gravel on the plateau. Some blockage. 94m, 6cf. 14.5%. 3.5pH. A yield of 32hl/ha. Ageing 75% in barrels (1/3 new) and 25% in a variety of vessels (stoneware, concrete and stainless steel)." - Georgina Hindle (04/2026)
