"On the nose, the wine is open and expressive with notes of apple, pear and a touch of custard. There’s a genuine impression of a warm apple pie, fresh out of the oven here. This carries through on the palate, with the orchard fruit notes joined by a hint of just-ripe nectarine, subtle vanilla, and framed by an appleskin phenolic grip and balanced by freshening acidity.
Grapes sourced from the Wrekin Vineyard. No herbicides, pesticides or systemic fungicides used. Only approved natural fertiliser applied. All vineyards certified organic (BioGro). Hand-picked March 26th. Hand picked fermented using “wild” and cultured yeast. Matured for 12 months in a combination of 228 and 600 litre French oak barrels (10% new) with a portion in stainless steel to preserve freshness."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, January 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"A fine and elegant bouquet with a core of place from vineyard mineral scents and ripe orchard fruits to a combination of lees and peach, chalk and apple, grapefruit and nut. Taut, youthful, crisp, dry and textured. Flavours reflect the bouquet with acidity accentuating the citrus flavours and tension from fine tannins. The mineral theme is persistent with a raw cashew nut and gentle spice quality from ageing in barrel. A lovely example that needs a place in your cellar with best drinking from late 2024 or early 2025 through 2030+."
92/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, November 2024 (2022 Vintage)
"In 2022, the fruit came entirely from the organic Wrekin Vineyard. Aged in both barrique and 600-litre oak (only 10% being new), a portion was also kept in stainless steel tank for more freshness. An excellent, well-priced choice to fill out the drinking parts of a cellar.
Lively, detailed floral and white fruit aromas with crisp apple and citrus with a hint of smoky flint. Etched on the palate in pithy phenolics are clean, subtle but crystalline flavours with a strong streak of chalky minerality. Complex, poised and sophisticated with no perceptible oakiness, the mid-weight flavours are accessible but clearly able to evolve and improve in the near-term."
