"70% Chenin Blanc, 10% Semillon, 7.5% Colombar, 5% Clairette Blanche, 4% Palomino and 3.5% Grenache Blanc. 57% of the wine from 2023 and 43% from 2002. 40% skin contact, 6% matured under flor, 3% madierised. Cut apple, orange, spice and some pleasant nuttiness on the nose while the palate is rich and broad with layers of flavour and well-integrated acidity, some light grip to the finish." Christian Eedes
