The nose still carries a faint echo of oak, but it’s quickly overtaken by pure Chenin Blanc fruit – yellow plum, red apple and peach skin – with touches of honey and a brioche-like richness. The palate is broad and gliding, driven by powerful, pulsing acidity that feels balanced rather than sharp, giving real energy and persistence. The tension is gorgeous. Clean finish with soft but compact minerality and bright citrus – like a really good Amalfi lemon. There’s a gentle lemon-curd lushness without sweetness, more development on the nose and a beautifully judged balance between dry extract and citrus freshness through the finish. Half vinified in glass Wineglobes and half in old oak.
