Nose
The nose has the characteristic citrus blossom lift with lime, pineapple & pear aromas, complemented by suggestions of lime marmalade
Palate
The palate is lithe & clean with a little grip whilst still sweet. Intense flavours of Meyer lemon, juicy lime & honeycomb are gorgeously counterbalanced by a fine, refreshing, acid finish
Growing Conditions
A wet winter & spring impacted fruit set leading to reduced yields. Yet, 2022 was an outstanding vintage. Warm, dry conditions in summer & autumn provided exceptional growing & ripening conditions. Bird pressure was greatly reduced due to strong flowering of native flora. Remarkable quality
