Deep, rocky soils and old, gnarly vines (planted in the early 1970's) combine to create a wine with an intense bouquet of honeysuckle and stone fruits. The palate explodes in the mouth, being round and fleshy, yet silky all at the same time with hints of butterscotch, marmalade, butter and barrel spice.

"The wine has concentration and texture that old vines can deliver. It begins with stone fruit aromas mingled with buttery notes. On the palate, there are buttery citrus flavours with hints of oak spice on the long finish."

"The nose is open with peach, apricot and honey, and showing some complexity. The style is more luxurious and rounder with flavours of butterscotch and apricot compote."
– Anthony Gismondi
