Maritime comes from a block that sits at the lowest, most ocean-exposed point of the Hirsch estate. The 2023 was the last pick of the already cool and late vintage, and it is just breathtaking. At just 12.5% alcohol, it shows so much freshness, with saline aromas of kelp, salty air, and fresh herbs like tarragon, with a layer of forest floor underneath, reminiscent of the redwoods further inland in the region. It tastes of incredible depth: crunchy cherries, wild berries, plum skins, and a touch of dry spices that carries through the saline, mineral finish. The tannins are silky and very well integrated, making this wine seriously ready to drink, yet the complexity of flavours and electric acidity promise many years to go in the bottle. Love the lifted tone. Truly stunning!
