Crunchy with acidity and bags of orchard fruit flavour. This is from old vines up to 50 years old half fermented in tank and half in new oak. Batonnage is for 8 months. This is a big, generous wine, quite golden with a nose of orchard fruits burnished by the sun, conjuring half misty-half sunny early autumn afternoons. The wine slides around the tongue and fills the mouth with pear william and yellow plum flavours, ginger and angelica and is rounded off by a lambent vanilla texture.
