About the wine
- Leighton planted the first grape in his Dads Pyrenees vineyard back in 1999 and fittingly here is his first wine for Naked Angels. Growing up in the vineyard, Leighton knows the fruit intimately, believing that the best wines are made in the vineyard
- Single vineyard wines are a picture of a particular place, in a particular time, unique to the core. This delivers intense dark fruits, medium bodied, with oak and tannin only playing supporting roles allowing the delicious fruits to sing
- Leighton considers himself a thinker, but don't think to hard about whether to buy this as it will not last too long.
