This is showing aromas of smoked almonds, crushed stones, fennel, lavender, cedar and orange curd. It’s flinty, subtly spicy and medium- to full-bodied, with bright acidity. Mineral and elegant finish. Drink or hold.

Clean aromatics of white flowers, lotus and peach pit. Thrilling and electric, full of energy and poise with great definition – streamlined and precise yet with a juicy, succulent core. Not overly mouthwatering but integrated and calm, confident and very enjoyable. Cool wet stones and a lovely mineral finish; elegant, delicately layered, with lemon, pear and green apple notes. Crisp and poised. Aged for 10 months, 80% new oak barrels and 15% terracotta amphora. 3.20pH. Production 3,500 bottles. Drink: 2026-2042
