Tasting notes
Reviewed by: James Suckling
Lots of ripe citrus and gooseberry fruit, together with a bouquet of fresh and dried herbs, silky minerals and a touch of grape skin to keep it taught and add to the length. Elegant, refined and delicious old-vine sauvignon. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered. Drink or hold.
