Made in an old world style, this wine was matured in a mixture of new and old Burgundian coopered oak with regular lees stirring. It demonstrates a fresh green apple and tropical fruit character alongside richer butterscotch and caramelised apple flavours. Smooth and broad, its heft is kept in check by a lovely cleansing acidity. The finish is long, with succulent orange zest notes.
