ABV: 11.8%
Closure: Stelvin
Brilliant very pale straw almost water like colour with greenish tinged edges. Pronounced lime, citrus and orange rind scents dominate the nose with some chalky mineral and light talc notes also evident. Mouth watering lime and citrus fruits show excellent concentration with orange rind, talc and flinty mineral characters ensuing. Fullish in its feel, it finishes dry with crisp acidity and a long tangy aftertaste.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 11.8%
From the most outstanding single block of the vintage, planted 1996. Made by Phil Lehmann. A contrasting mood to Eden Hall's Springton, the intensity and tension of the season is encapsulated here. Spicy, wild lemon, lime and Granny Smith apple fill an expansive and generous style, holding a finish of considerable drive, persistence and promise. It holds both the richness and breadth for immediate appeal and the cool, focused acid energy to go long. Drink by 2030.
