Mostly Chenin Blanc, with five other varieties, the 2020 Old Vine White is fresh, vibrant and dusty with notes of peach ring, yellow apple skin and kumquat. Medium-bodied, the palate is energetic with notions of lees and citrus skin before fresh flavors of pineapple and wax melon sway into focus. The wine concludes with a bright, textural finish that will remain food-friendly until it’s 10th birthday. Give it a try.

The 2020 White Old Vines has a minimalist bouquet that offers fleeting glimpses of citrus peel and beeswax, although I would have liked a little more Chenin character to come through. The palate is well balanced with a lovely texture and hints of brioche and walnut. A subtle lemongrass note emerges toward the finish. Give this 2–3 years in bottle for the aromatics to develop.
