Only the second vintage of this wine, which sits in the range between the entry level Filius and the higher end Heytesbury. It has a potent nose of spice, fragrant wood, cream, citrus and apple. The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth, with flavours of pear, baked apple and citrus alongside some vanilla and soft spice notes. A juicy tangerine character reveals itself on the finish. Although there is plenty of acidity, it is well integrated into the rich body,
