Vinification

Expert Reviews

93 points "From a vineyard in Sellicks Hill, fermented in concrete as whole berries; matured in older French oak for 10 months. This feels like a reasonable precis of the Saltfleet style, with wines full-flavoured, though more medium-weighted, lifted and fragrant but savoury and earthy with it. Charming varietal florals, blue and deep red, scrubby dry herbs, amaro flashes, salted dark chocolate, spices – clove, allspice, star anise, cinnamon – a little olive, dehydrated blackberry, blueberry and wild raspberry, the palate silkily saline, flanked with ultrafine tannins, a burst of sour cherry and spices closing out. It's a lovely example, rippling with flavour but effortless with it."
