Made reductively in order to maximize the fruit personality of the vintage, the 2009 shows more marked fruit aromatics than usual, while maintaining the typical Southern Right balance of Old World minerality and length with hints of New World palate coverage and body. 2009 is a wine that favours origin expressive individuality, minerality and palate complexity ahead of pure, pungent varietal aroma. A larger percentage of fruit from clay-rich soil in 2009 has added an intense mid-palate structural component and addition overall complexity to this wine.
This is really precise, with great cut to the nervy chive, thyme, lime, pippin apple and fleur de sel notes that run seamlessly through the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2011. 500 cases imported.
