2021 Vintage
After a warm start, the temperature dropped, and June and July were wet; ripening
slowed, and only resumed properly during the fine August and September. This slow
start made the harvest later than usual, but brought the advantage of a long, slow ripening period, allowing the grapes plenty of time to develop complexity. The wines are
pure and defined, with cool fine aromatics, bright acidity and excellent energy.
2020 Vintage
A warm, dry year with early bud break. Young vines suffered from drought, but the estate is lucky to have a large proportion of old vines, and these drew on water reserves deep in the soil, remaining largely unaffected. Ripening was steady, and the grapes remained small, with little juice. The wines are concentrated and ripe, but with an appealing freshness, smooth elegance, and fine ripe tannins. They have a very promising
future. It is a great year here.
2019 Vintage
A magical year. The season saw both low and high temperatures, but rain fell at just the right times and the vines always had enough water. Warm days and cool nights
ensured perfect ripening, and fine weather in September saw a leisurely harvest under
perfect conditions. The wines have density, elegance and great potential for ageing.
