Another great bottle from Spottswoode, delivering just what you’ve come to expect from them — a wine that has great complexity, where nothing shouts for attention, instead showcasing the interplay of elements in a way that takes you to a deeper thought. Stony minerality, citrus, melon, grass and a touch of creamy toasted oak are present from start to finish, and a zesty note rides the oak through a lingering ending. Gorgeous wine.
