Tasting Notes
Very bright, polished platinum with green, vivacious hue. Complex, appealing nose with pear, citrus and floral notes developing into lemon cream, oatmeal and marzipan richness. On the palate the wine is full bodied & generous, but still sleek and balanced by crisp acidity. There is ripe tropical fruit & creaminess balanced by a pure minerality typical of the variety. The wine has a long, very pleasant lingering finish.
Ageing Potential
Up to six years, provided wine is stored in ideal cellar conditions.

In The Vineyard
Sourced from 2 vineyards on the Estate, the first planted in 1991 (22 years old in year of vintage) situated on alluvial Dundee soils which produces the rich textured mouth feel and minerality.The younger vineyard was planted in 2007 on Cartref soils giving a greater fruit expression. Crop thinning occurred at pruning and at veraison. Five separate picking stages at optimum ripeness.
