Drinking Window: 2020 - 2027
From a vineyard rated first-class back in 1737, this crystal-bright wine was fermented in large Zemplen oak casks, 30% new, and aged for 10 months. Still youthful and well-structured with lovely purity and fine acidity, it has refined aromas of mirabelle and melon, and flavours of fresh nectarine, spice and bright, mouthwatering citrus notes. An elegant wine with a long future.
