James Halliday
Reviewed December 2023A blend of two ferments, one larger ferment in concrete tulip with 10% whole berries and 10% whole bunches and a second on full skins (40% whole bunches) in stainless steel. It's then blended, full skins making up 10% of the final wine. Yellow fruited with plum, apple, citrus and a touch of pear, hints of soft, souk-like spice, clotted cream, apple and pear skin, grapefruit pith and stone. Slinky and supple with a textural flow, stony acid drive and long, lemon drop finish. Delicious, textural drinking. (DB)

The 2023 Kin Old Vine Semillon is skinsy and chalky on the nose, with Campari, blood orange, white flowers, crushed rocks and green apple skins. Gently bitter and equally textural, this won't be for everyone, but I really enjoy it; there's a nice balance present and it's salty and tangy. (EL)
