Lovely scents of stone fruit and honey. Rounded, generous and supple. Will happily buy again.

Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Silky texture and great length. Crowd-pleasing and food-friendly.

Amber and luminous. Lovely hints of oak, vanilla and tobacco. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. The finish is long and savoury. A serious wine that rewards patience.

Amber and luminous. Lovely ripe plum and warm spice. Racy, mineral-driven and precise. The aftertaste is bright and mineral. Excellent with roast lamb and herbs. Outstanding value for the price.
