Wine Critic Reviews

Owen Bargreen (94): The 2022 ‘Basalt’ is sourced from vines set on volcanic soils. This opens with wet stone and pear notes alongside starfruit on the nose. The palate is rich and viscous with serious texture and length. Rich orchard and melon fruits combine with citrus oil and copious minerals on the palate. Great now, enjoy over the next eight to ten years.
