The soil is varied with loess on the higher terraces and deep topsoil over primary rock lower down the slope. The wine ages on its lees in old barrels, giving creamy texture.

"This has aged well, with beeswax breadth filled in with lightly honeyed, slightly nutty and definitely saline flavours, like salted-almond nougat. It's quiet and restrained, as is the house style here, and very pretty, with wildflower aromas lending lift and freshness. Lasts, even-keeled. (TQT)"
