An elegant bouquet centering on aromas of pure yellow fleshed orchard fruits, oak, lees and the complexities the harmonies of these three elements reveal. On the palate - weighty, almost full-bodied, fruits flavours of grapefruit and peach, some quince and apple then the unmistakable youthful bite of new French wood. Tannins, acid and wood are of equal intensity demanding my attention. A truly flavourful wine with textures from oak and acid, lees and fruit intensity. Still on its way to balance and harmony - and it will - with best drinking likely from late 2021 early 2022 through 2028. Lengthy and engaging finish.

This is a new-oak fermented Sauvignon Blanc Wine – and a rather stunning example
