Brilliant very pale straw, some luminescent greens. The nose is subtle, full of nuance. Highly restrained flint and grapefruit, lime, brioche and spice. The palate is poised, lively and full of purpose. The purity, balance and structure will see this Reserve wine age gracefully for 8-10 years in bottle. Only 600 bottles produced.
From six rows of a block planted east-west, protected from northerly winds. Top class vinification, 65% new French oak folded within intense, layered white flower/white peach/grapefruit flavours; exceptional length for this single batch. 50 dozen made.
