Ray Jordan’s review
Yes, there is that distinctive acid line that defines Heytesbury, but this year more generous and opulent fruit fills the palate. From the Gingin clone, with 52% new French oak and wild yeast fermentation. Aromas strike with urgency: powerful notes of savoury honeycomb, stone fruit, and floral fragrance. The palate is textured with a lovely lightness of touch that carries powerfully through to a very long finish. One of the very best in this illustrious line.
