Vintage 2012
An exceptional yet low yielding vintage. Early and excellent flowering and fruit set was followed by cool conditions over December. This was followed by a long, warm, Indian summer, enabling the fruit to hang out on the vine producing unusually powerful flavour development for an elegantly lean body.

Vintage 2009
A mild to hot summer – described by John and other winemakers on the island as a typical Bordeaux type season. Was slow to show it’s true colours, but has evolved into a beautifully complex and rewarding wine.

Vintage 2004

Early and excellent flowering and fruit set was followed by cool conditions over a long ripening season producing unusually powerful flavour development for an elegantly lean body and balanced acidity.
