(2017) A family-owned estate produces this limey and quite elegant and fragrant wine, with floral notes and a waxy lemon rind nuance. It has a slightly more chalky acid character than the Clare wines, not as aggressive/austere as some of them in their youth, remaining juicy and limey.
(2017) From a vineyard planted in 1968 this is quite stony on the nose, lean and not hugely expressive. The palate is dry and lemon juicy, clean and delicate, perhaps lacks a bit of fireworks compared to some. I would say this very young and tight Riesling possibly has more to give in the future.
(2017) Quite a nutty and natural feel, with a hint of star fruit or Sharon fruit-skin phenolics and a real juiciness that pushes through. Becomes quite sparky and intense.
(2017)
Less aromatic than the Pauletts for example, but with a very direct lemony intensity but does add extra rigour in place of the Pauletts' luscious ripeness.
(2016) From schist soils, this is quite fragrant, a touch of grip to this, melon rind and lime skins, the palate bursting with citrus juiciness and a long, fresh and bone dry finish.
(2016) A slightly more toffeed character, more tropical notes to the fruit too, this one feeling a little more old school, with good acid but stays slightly too buttery-minty toffeed. From a single vineyard, 25% new French oak and lees stirred for six months.
(2016) Aged in 40% new oak, this offers a nice combination of slightly buttery, quite Burgundian character (wild ferment) and a touch of flinty complex sulphides. The palate has really ripe, sweet fruit, more obviously sweet and full than some, and though it has good acids, perhaps doesn't hang together quite as well, the acid a little pithy and stark against that sweetness - at this stage at least.
