The nose is fresh, fruity and aromatic, with ripe tropical and dried fruit characteristics. The palate is medium bodied with a succulent texture, balanced alcohol and acidity and a great concentration of dried fruit flavours, such as apricot and peach, with a honeyed, silky finish. After de-stemming they are gently crushed in a pneumatic press and fermented at a cool, controlled temperature in stainless steel. Ageing is in barrels for 6 months, 25% of which are new, and batonnage is performed regularly. Only 5000 bottles made annually.
