It’s not just about the bold flavours, there is a beautiful stone fruit and spearmint character this vintage, flint, struck match and a hint of oak that balances out a super line of acid. It has got flare and personality and is sure to turn heads.\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVineyard: \u003c\/em\u003eSomerset, Basket Range\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlanted:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e1996\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eClones:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eI10V1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eElevation\u003c\/em\u003e: 440m\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAspect\u003c\/em\u003e: N\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSoil\u003c\/em\u003e: Light loamy clay over sandstone with extensive schist and quartz rubble.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVinification:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhole bunches were pressed to tank for settling over night before racking off heavy solids to barrel.

It's fully of mealy lime blossom, yellow peach, white chocolate, glacial undertones - a mouthful of generous fruit, with an undercarriage of flint and tension. There's a decided generosity here coming from the combination of elevation and denser clay soils, yet it's balanced gracefully, with a deft touch on the finish that's fanning and alluring.
