2015 Vintage: Warm and dry weather conditions during the spring and summer months regionally allowed most grapes to reach full maturity with minimal risk of disease. Our vineyard expression felt like a leaner year, that resulted in zippy, citrus dominant notes. Notes: Celebrating Mister L’s 80 Millésime! Focused grapefruit notes twinned with brioche and lotus, white peach, citrus, and elderflower with hints of artichoke, textured, flinty minerality and crisp acidity.

2012 Vintage: Vintage: A challenging year of very cold winter, frosts and rain before a dry, sunny summer meant yields were low – but it was one of our most successful vintages ever winning a gold medal for this wine at the World Sauvignon Competition. Notes: The nose has delicate toasty aromas, with elderflower, citrus blossom and hints of exotic fruit. The palate is long and textured and layered with citrus, lotus, white peach and subtle, exotic mango flavours underpinned by characteristic minerality.

2011 Vintage: This vintage is a family favourite – it was a wine of two vintages, that started off as a dry growing season, creating small intensely flavoured grapes. Hand picking was interrupted halfway by a deluge of rain for 7 days, and so the balance of grapes picked were of a very different character and the final blend took some time to come together, but in maturity is superb. Notes: Gentle toasty aromas mingle with peach, citrus, exotic lotus and elderflower with hints of green tea, flinty minerality and crisp acidity.
