WineSaint
Crushed limestone, oyster shell and lime zest on the nose, then white peach and wet stone as it opens up. Tightly-knit and concentrated on the palate, with a firm, almost severe acidity that keeps everything in check, impressive stuff from Hipping's complex soils. The finish stretches long, driven by pure saline minerality and real depth. Drink 2022–2032.
