Fruit is from the first block of vines planted in 1985. Peach and melon, this has stone fruit alongside golden apples and churned butter and mace spice. Sawdust, cinnamon and mealy oak intensifies the fruit into the more tropical realms jackfruit and mango ice cream. Rich and robust, but with a lick of sea spray and a bright line of acidity. An excellent pairing for aged cheddar toasties.
