Season

Season

The 2023 season was long and cool. Steady and consistent ripening matched with low crop loads ensured all varieties ripened well with the benefit of good-sized canopies. Mild, cool nights enhanced flavour development. The resulting wines are richly flavoured and high in quality with incredible aromatics.

Vinification

Vinification

Slow, cool fermentation in stainless steel followed by maturation on lees. Early bottling to retain freshness.

"Nettle, lime-leaf, dried herbs and lemon juice aromas, a straightforward, vibrant and fresh aroma, with ripe fruit indications. There's a very smart fruit/acid balance and the fruit has some richer/riper touches, happily avoiding the greener notes. Clean, dry and balanced, with length and charm. Excellent fruit concentration and ripeness. Watch out, Shaw + Smith!"
