Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, only the premium cuvée is re-tained for Grand Reserve. A small portion of the juice was fermented in seasoned French oak to elevate richness and texture in the final blend. This wine was matured on lees for 56 months. On the nose this wine shows purity and complexity, exemplified with minerality, wet slate and notes of oyster shell and fresh cashew. An intriguing palate of toasty brioche and malt biscuit, with hints of white mushroom, intertwining with fresh acidity and a fine bead to provide balance. – Liam McElhinney, Lowestoft Estate
