The Xnish is powerful and inten naturally low yields of 2021 adding that extra p another six months to allow Scrappy Doo to ca be put on wine lists and sold before then.

Intriguing and aromatic, this has a singed note to the up-front peach, honeysuckle and jasmine flavors, but the lush core is pure melon, apricot and lemon curd on a fleshy frame. Finishes with candied ginger, marmalade and spice, with fresh, vibrant acidity. Drink now. 10,000 cases imported.

Like two flint rocks striking one another, there's a smoky, sulfuric aroma that mingles with toasted nut and oyster shell. More delicate fruit (pithy lime) and floral aromas arrive after some time in glass. There's a textural richness to the palate. It's sliced by razor-edged acidity. Crunchy and citrusy with length and poise, this manages to be delicate and bold all at once. It's a divisive style but one that enormously rewards time and food.
