James Suckling
Starts out bright and gets deliciously savory. Great depth and flinty complexity. Brown butter and toasted almonds. Dynamic. A pleasure to drink. Drink or hold.
Quantity:
"The Girls" are made with NO pressing, it takes two tons to yield one barrel, there is no inoculation on either primary and secondary fermentation with no nutrient additions, minimal use of SO2 and the use of an OXO rolling system for lees incorporation instead of stirring. As a result of this extremely reductive winemaking to protect these wines, they actually NEED air to open.
