One of the rewards of the 2021 vintage, for those who had the nerve to hang on, was a tiny crop of fabulous botrytised sweet wines. Here is one such treasure. It displays pure, clear aromas of honey, tangerine peel and nectarines. On the palate it has a silky texture and unctuous mouthfeel, with gorgeous concentration and perfect balance. It is very sweet (147g/L) but perfectly crisp and refreshing. There is a beautiful quality of botrytis here, and this bitterness, combined with the natural bitterness of Chenin grown on this special schist site, is just a perfect combination. A honeyed essence, with a refreshing twist of bitter lemon peel on the finish. Made from the fruit of 60-year-old vines, fermented in oak barriques, 50% new.
