The 2021 is a cracking example of MCMLV. It has a full body, plenty of concentration, roundness and silken notes. It's seamless, with a delightful texture that coats the palate. Having spent 14-15 months in either a wooden tank or stainless steel (50/50), it exudes elderflower, dill, lemon and nectarine aromas. Pre-fermentation skin contact in the press has also contributed a nice sense of bitterness and phenolics. Even better than the 2020 with more excellent balance, particularly the moderate alcohol (12.5%).In Bond£268.00 -
