Drinking Window: 2017 - 2018
This has plenty of sweet intrigue. Lemon chiffon and crème anglaise - once again, a long way from the 'natural wine' cliché. On the palate, this is poised, fresh, graceful and diverting, with great harmony but impressive subtlety, too; long, carefully interfolded secondary flavours leading to a tender, graceful finish. Fine work here. No sense of under-ripeness either, despite the low alcohol from a hot growing location, so very well managed in the vineyard too.
