Ripe, fresh and brilliant in the glass, the 2021 Straw Wine offers purity of stonefruit with picturesque peach aromas and apricot purée before succulent honeysuckle florals seduce the nose. Medium to full-bodied and with only 8% alcohol, the wine somersaults across the palate with a brilliant sweetness, focus, precision and finesse, unwinding and uncoiling as it hangs in the mouth. It concludes with impeccable balance over the incredibly complex, long-winding finish. Its beauty is sure to delight for decades to come.
Complex aromas of honied green apple, saffron and candied ginger. Full-bodied with bright, driving acidity and dense vibrant fruit. Layered and intense with wonderful length and seamless texture. Already delicious but will continue to get better with age.
