Exemplary Preuses, crisp and refreshing yet with a wonderful richness, floral, oyster shell and ripe citrus, hint of salted butter, pure and elegant, finishes with hints of hay and candy, very good length. Delicious now and over the next three to five years.

Delicious rich and sweet cherry fruit, spices, hint of tar, floral lift, subtle vanilla cream, drink slightly chilled to not let the (15%) alcohol get in the way, elegant but grippy phenolics, flavoursome, fresh and mineral, very good length. Thoroughly modern but well-judged.

A 50cl bottle. An outstanding Verdelho, complex and intense, medium dry, crystallised apricot fruit, nuts, vanilla, spices, tangy yet silky and harmonious, salty intensity, excellent length. A classic Verdelho, nothing out of place.
