Creamy, bright fruited style, citrus, acacia, palate is supple and easy going, some richness, decent acid, peach and touch of creaminess on the finish.

This vineyard's fantastic position up high and facing south east, as well as its rock-laden soil really show the class of this site in warm vintages. The vines here are now 37 years old and the 2018 is a total triumph. F...(read more)
