Crafted from the iconic, low-yielding Polish Hill vineyard where vines struggle through hard Mintaro slate soils, this legendary flagship reached an extraordinary pinnacle during the warm, sunny ripening phase of the 2025 vintage.

The resulting un-fined, biodynamic white pours with a crystalline, light-straw hue, casting commanding aromatics of musk, crushed stone, talc, sherbet, and lime blossom.

On the palate, the wine delivers a full-throttle display of pure, piercing lime juice concentration wrapped seamlessly around a rigid, slate-driven mineral core. Its immense structural framework is defined by a commanding, brittle acidity that generates breathtaking tension and persistent drive.

Spearheading the global praise, James Suckling bestowed a near-perfect 98 points upon this release, heralding it as a magnificent "Polish Hill built for the ages" that effortlessly aligns immediate purity with profound grandeur.
