Nose
Wild strawberry, blood orange, tarragon, subtle vanilla
Palate
Vibrant, textural and savoury, finishing crisp with pithy blood orange and a hint of clove.
Harvest
Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes.
Winemaking
Tempranillo fruit was cold pressed and juice removed off skins in a flash. Barrel-fermented in old oak puncheons and then stirred on lees for 5 months. Bottled young for early release.
Aging
