The vines were planted by the late Basie van Lill between 1940 and 1955, never grafted, never sprayed with herbicide or fed chemical fertiliser, and farmed with a care you can taste. Whole bunches go to the basket press, the juice ferments on its own in old casks, then spends a year on lees before the blend goes back to the same wood and is bottled from foudre. Eben Sadie reckons the combination of volume and cutting acidity here points to a long life in bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight and cut at the same time: dried pear, lemon oil, a little honeycomb, and a mineral spine that runs the length of the palate. Serve around 12 degrees. Grilled prawns, a ham hock terrine or aged Comte all work well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur.
