Named on account of the 1.5 metre spacing between vine rows. Fresh, tightly wound and elegant aromas of white peach and cedar kick things off, followed by green apple, Meyer lemon, peach blossom, nectarine pulp and cinnamon. There’s a taut and coy feel to the palate at this stage of its life, though with restrained power keen to unfurl in time. White peach, apple, Meyer lemon again, some delicate brown spice. The acidity is assertive and tight here, reflecting the cool vintage and working with chalky phenolics to create a coiled and taut frame through the finish. The bones are excellent, and this will shine following a decade in cellar.
