As a fantastic follow on from the 2021 Isabella, we rather like this wine! It has an intensity of flavour, but with structure and at the same time a delicate integrated line of control. The old vines are extremely low yielding - some vines might only produce ten bunches however they are glorious tight bunches with delicious tasting skins that give the wine a depth of flavour without being blousy. Ferment is not too fast, not too slow as to capture the fruit, no malolactic fermentation and ageing is largely hands off except for careful barrel monitoring. It is drinking beautifully now; however it will age very well for many years to come. Just four barrels made - Maryann Egan
