Written Notes

Full bottle 1,290 g. From the Panorama region of central Crete. Rocky clay soil. Dry-farmed vines at 610 m on clay loam. Grapes macerated almost uncrushed for 9 hours. Free-run juice fermented spontaneously in 2- and 3-year-old French oak barrels. 45% of the wine stayed in barrel for a further three months. TA 6.75g/l, pH 3.24, RS 1.84 g/l.
Very pale gold. Complex and multi-layered aroma of stone fruit, a touch of oak (spice, creamy) with a hint of apricot as it warms in the glass. The use of oak on this wine is now really sophisticated, adding texture as much as flavour. There’s depth and fullness of fruit here but it is balanced by crisp acidity, grapefruit-like zest – and a firm, smooth texture. Really long and deliciously dry. (JH)
