A complex nose of sourdough, green and bruised apple, plus savoury characters of soy sauce and biscuits. The latest release is based on the 2015 vintage, plus 23% of reserve wines. Partial barrel fermentation and malolactic fermentation, combined with 4 years of ageing on lees, give the wine lovely roundness and richness on the palate, with brioche, buttered citrus and red apple, followed by mouth-smacking umami depth and a pinch of spice on the finish.
