Floral and stone fruit aromas – lavender, geranium, apricot, nectarine, a touch of honey – with lifted sage notes. The palate is impressive, with broad structure and persistent acidity; the peach tea tannins from skin contact feel resolved rather than grippy. There’s a brief blast of pomelo citrus, then sour stone fruit on the finish, with a fresh peach character and a clear umami thread from the skins. Long, savoury finish, carried by sage tea herbal bitters and minerals. Spends 21 days on skins, then seven months in concrete tanks.
