This Semillon was sourced from our Somerset Vineyard and handpicked in early February 2021.
The block was planted by the Howard family in 1969, over fine clay loam soil. The juice was fermented on fine solids and extended lees contact was allowed before being bottled. The wine shows the character of the old gnarled vines: refreshing natural acidity; citrus fruit and delicate minerality. Drink anytime over the next 10+ years.

Sourced from our Somerset Vineyard. The blocks were planted by the Howard family in 1973, 1980 & 1987 over red volcanic clay and fine sandy clay loam soil. The fruit was handpicked and basket pressed with the juice transferred directly to large format, tight grain, French & Austrian oak, where the wine underwent fermentation. During the eleven month élevage, bâtonnage was conducted to build creamy texture to support the fruit and oak spice.
