2014 continues to be known as a high quality but devastatingly low yielding vintage with the the inaugural release from Lyons Will cropped at only 0.7 tonne per acre.
A straw yellow in the glass the nose gives honeyed nectarine and white peach with background oak spice and fresh nougat.
The palate has an underlying thread of honeyed stone fruits and green apple with a rolling mineral edge that balances the wines richer notes, to finish there are subtle cashew and lanolin framed by considerable mouthfeel and length to finish.
Reminiscent of Chablis in style with a few years under the belt, this will continue to evolve over time.
