The block itself is a steep intensely beautiful block dropping off to the south east with mighty views and underlaid by a rich seam of gold and pyrite bearing quartz on a bedrock of slate. Minerality abounds. These vines are 30+ years. The slope awakens to the morning sun and is sheltered by the afternoon. In 2021 with a change in weather (lots of rain!) and approach. From this year onwards we decided to pick much earlier, aiming to amplify the minerality and acidity, whilst doing away with the old barrels and fermenting and ageing only in a large terracotta amphora to help with the body of the wine. This all seems to have worked as both the ’21 and ’22 Forest White wines are absolute fire crackers - dry, mineral in the extreme and very delicious. - Manon
