Planted in 1968 at 470 metres elevation, this single-vineyard site is managed under organic and biodynamic practices, producing fruit defined by aromatic lift and fine structure. Matured for 20 months in French oak hogsheads with a small proportion of new oak, the wine reflects altitude, restraint and site transparency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"623\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003eDeep crimson with violet hues, the aromatics are fragrant and detailed, revealing raspberry, black cherry and boysenberry alongside nutmeg, aniseed, cocoa, sage, wild fennel and charcuterie. The palate is poised and finely layered, carrying mulberry, blueberry and black plum with white and pink peppercorn and subtle floral tones. Fine acidity frames a long, silky tannin structure, delivering balance and persistence. The 2022 season, marked by a cool start, reduced yields and a long, measured ripening period, has produced a wine of clarity and composure, well suited to extended cellaring. In this collector’s format, the wine is presented for long-term ageing or considered sharing, with roasted game or herb-crusted lamb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1353\" data-end=\"1366\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Fragrant Dark Fruits\u003cbr\u003eRaspberry, black cherry and boysenberry with spice, cocoa, herbs and savoury complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1490\" data-end=\"1519\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Poised and Layered\u003cbr\u003eMulberry, blueberry and black plum with peppercorn and floral lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1591\" data-end=\"1622\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Silky and Persistent\u003cbr\u003eFine acidity and refined tannins extend the wine with balance and length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"496\" data-end=\"1116\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\"This is such a lovely wine, brimming with bright red fruits supported by a fine, bright and lively acidity, fine chalky tannins and a neatly implemented oak.
