An unvintaged ‘assemblage’ composed of casks from 2019 (42%), 2018 (37%), 2017 (13%), 2016 (4%) & 2015 (4%). Exclusively sourced from our five treasured plots within the Hoffmann’s ‘Dallwitz’ vineyard from vines planted in 1996, 1995, 1960, 1927 & the oldest vines planted prior to 1912.

Textural glory, sumptuous detail, a svelteness that draws in all that fruit, spice, earth, sweetness, savouriness and sense of young and old material. Kaleidoscopic flavour, exceptional length of ripe dark berry fruit, briary herbal detail and very fine-feeling red-earthy, slightly ferrous tannin shaping the wine and extending it incredibly. The bouquet is so enticing; pot pourri strong in dried rose petal, faint game meat, old leather and spice cupboard, wild forest berries on briar – true perfume. So much to say, so very, very good. You’d say it’s a more substantial Little Wine, but loses none of its energy and sheer delight. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
