Tasting Note
A luscious peachy nose yields a rich palate of peach, pear and apricot, with a long finish.
Food Match
The fresh acidity and ripe orchard and stone fruit characters would pair beautifully with a crab linguine or pan-seared chalk stream trout.
The 2025 Vintage
Spring was met with warm weather prompting an early budburst. This set the tone for a growing season with rapid vine development and limited rainfall. We witnessed the driest May ever recorded in England, followed by flowering which was completed towards the end of June. The vines benefited from a warm August and September, resulting in the perfect balance of sugar and acidity come veraison. Very low disease pressure at harvest meant a beautifully clean crop, characterised by small bunches and great concentration of flavour, with ripeness levels comparable to standout years like 2018.
