With a little struck-match reduction on opening, given a moment to breathe the wine begins to show its tightly-coiled precision. A one-off, experimental cuvée that blends two contrasting vintages – the heat and ripeness of 2022 with the cool, linear 2023 – it is a wine of tentative equilibrium as these opposing qualities are brought together. Beautifully pale in the glass, fruits are crisp green apple and salt-encrusted lemon, with a taut undernote of volatility, but simultaneously there is the presence of richness and texture.

The 2022 was direct-pressed into steel, where it rested for two years, the 2023 had one year in fibreglass. The two vintages were then blended together to age a further three months in steel before bottling. Tense and angular, it is a vertical wine with acidity that cuts like a beam and awakens the senses.
