Critic reviews
"Slow unrolls through the palate, this has an unmistakable grip of fresh acidities, but they are delivered with a gourmet twist, sat alongside salt-encrusted lime, sea spray, citrus, clementine, fennel, understated and enticing, with clear structure and ageing ability, 5g/l resigular sugar, this is not yet released, will be on the market in a few months time. 12 months ageing in 80% one year old barrels previously used for Château d'Yquem, imparting a hint of the estate signature, together with 20% new oak."

"Gorgeous fresh aromas of white peach and pear on the nose with bright elderflower freshness. Clean and pure. Hints of citrus lemon and some toffee cinder. Instantly alive and so focussed on the palate, this is vibrant and sharp with the acidity that gives a real kick. But this slowly expands in the mouth, adding layers of complexity and richness as well as an invigorating mouthwatering aspect. Just utterly gorgeous, a really soft oiliness that is reminiscent of Sauternes with enticing elements of bitter orange and grapefruit skin. Ends a touch salty which I also adore. A funfair in a glass. A wine to sit with and just enjoy each of the aspects - saltiness, sweetness, bitterness and freshness. I love it. What more could you want in a glass of wine? 3.15pH. 6g/L residual sugar."
