55% Roussanne, 26% Grenache Blanc & 19% Picpoul Blanc. Waxy fruit coming through on the nose - underripe pear, green apple skin, wet slate and mineral backbone. Along with lots of herbs - thyme, dill, white pepper. Palate begins viscous, waxy, round.. finishing with a pucker of lemon grass and acidity that would be so superb if it wasn't for the extremely heavy alcohol burn that quickly stunts and smothers it. Can't get over the 14.5 ABV.

Big honey tropical fruit note, beeswax, and white flowers. Textured and bright acid. So well done

White flowers and a hint of lemon on the nose, and a strange but intriguing palate with a slightly buttery finish.
