White

Pear, quince and kumquat with bright yellow and white fruit but a distant cool element on the nose. Nothing overly sunny about the aromatics at all. A touch of succulence and hint of pineapple yet it keeps a lanolin, straw and hint of caramelised vanilla and white chocolate about it. Lovely texture and drive, finishes crisp and clean. Opens up a bit more after a while and becomes more juicy and charming. One to watch. 100% Semillon on limestone terroir with a clear focus on mineral taste and clean finish. Harvested 3rd September on limestone soils. Currently 0.80ha, expected to grow to 2.5ha. The Semillon was grafted onto 25-year-old Merlot vines using massal selection from Suduiraut.
