Note di degustazione
Mostly Chenin Blanc, with five other varieties, the 2020 Old Vine White is fresh, vibrant and dusty with notes of peach ring, yellow apple skin and kumquat. Medium-bodied, the palate is energetic with notions of lees and citrus skin before fresh flavors of pineapple and wax melon sway into focus. The wine concludes with a bright, textural finish that will remain food-friendly until it’s 10th birthday. Give it a try.

The 2020 White Old Vines has a minimalist bouquet that offers fleeting glimpses of citrus peel and beeswax, although I would have liked a little more Chenin character to come through. The palate is well balanced with a lovely texture and hints of brioche and walnut. A subtle lemongrass note emerges toward the finish. Give this 2–3 years in bottle for the aromatics to develop.
