Esperance Trotanoy

This is lovely - a definite buy for anyone who wants to understand what Trotanoy is about but can't quite stretch to the main wine. It’s younger than the 2010 vintage by five years, but it’s almost more approachable as here the edges are softened, silky and touched by smoked caramel. The depth and juice to the fruit is striking and you can start to touch the Trotanoy structure. The 2015 vintage saw a mild and rainy winter, followed by a dry but not overly hot summer, finishing up with almost ideal conditions for harvest.
