Score 94-95/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2020
A bright, dense white with lots of dried-lemon, pear and apple character. Some vanilla and cream. It’s full-bodied and flavorful. Seriously structured.

Another extremely promising white wine from the vintage, this is fleshy and perky, packed with apricot and lemon juice. Great length and grip, this is standing up there with the best whites from this property, mouthwatering with personality. 10 months ageing in barrel with lees stirring. A yield of 33hl/ha.
