Expressive nutty, earthy flavours broadened by creamy, lees-enriched texture on 2021; steely backbone, firm structure in sound support, augurs well for greater complexity over several years.

This is a textured, nutty, citrus and orange peel flavoured white with perfumed 50% new oak and undertones of gunflint and oatmeal.

Steely, pithy and flinty, it has lovely brine and oyster shell aromas, leesy complexity, stylish wood and the structure and concentration to age in bottle.

The palate is medium-bodied and focused, delivering fine definition, a killer line of acidity, and hints of popcorn, almond and orange zest toward the finish. Quite peppery on the aftertaste.
