White

Beautifully aromatic, with jasmine and blanched almonds; a lighter and more fragrant style than many 2022s. Full-bodied, quite luxurious and unctuous but not overly heavy, showing strong apricot and nectarine fruit on the finish, which is long and powerful, with just slightly raised alcohol – great length of fruit, however. Ageability is hard to judge, this could surprise with a very long life. Fermented in Stockinger demi-muids, after which it goes through malolactic fermentation and 10 months of ageing before bottling. Just 3,813 bottles made.
