TASTING NOTES
This Library Release wine has been gently maturing in our cellars. On the nose it has vibrant fruit, with ripe citrus, green apple and nectarine aromas, alongside some subtle spice and toasted notes. On the palate, the wine feels rich and opulent, with ripe stone and citrus fruits, yellow apple, camomile, alongside more complex notes of buttered toast and sweet spice, leading to a salty, mineral freshness on the finish.
ABOUT THE 2018 VINTAGE
Good levels of winter rainfall left the soil in optimum condition for the upcoming season. Bud burst in mid-April was followed by a period of abundant warmth and early flowering in June. In early August the fruit was thinned, and 50% dropped, to intensify flavour and concentration as well as ensure optimum quality. Warmth and sunshine from June to September meant the fruit was of an outstanding quality and picked at the perfect time.
