Notes

Harvest 2022 threw just about everything at us to challenge even the most seasoned grower. From a cool, damp flowering period, beautiful hot January followed by super wet February, huge disease pressure all round, etc. Fortunately from the beginning of March onwards, the fine weather returned and stayed. While yields were down on average, the fruit that was harvested was in the main very good and we’re looking forward to some great wine. Not a stellar vintage, but not bad either. A soft floral and strawberry nose with a hint of elderflower. The off-dry palate is zesty with pleasant flavours of apple and melon.

Food Pairing

The perfect summer-sipper, serve chilled on it’s own or with your favourite Thai curry.

Cellar

A wine best enjoyed fresh but will sustain cellaring for up to 2 years.
