BUY THE WINE

SF | Pale straw, with a distinct aroma of bitter lemon ( Robinson's barley water recalls Wimbledon, even on a dull Autumn morning). Tbe palate is a little stretched, quite phenolic, leafy almost, this of course chiming perfectly with the ambient tasting environment. 86
AJ | Pale gold. Honeyed and lemony, with a resinous touch. Attractive southern forests evoked here. Attacking acidity, but it is richer and more fruit-laden than for many of its peers; indeed there is even a sense of juiciness. Yet Encruzado and these soils also give you a legacy of seriousness, so this is not a slight or trivial wine, despite its poise and inner juicy vim. Excellent work.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2030. 91
RM | pale lemon yellow with a delicate toast and butter character on the nose and a hint of blossomy fruit; similarly attractive integrated citrusy fruit and a fine savoury streak leaving a fresh, delicate, dry lemon meringue finish.Drink Dates: 2024 - 2028. 89
