Golden in colour, this second edition of Perpetual opens with layers of dried persimmons, marmalade on toast, candied ginger, honey and soy, underpinned by the savoury complexity of oxidative oak-ageing. Aromas of cedar, woodland floor and jasmine tea continue to unfold with time in the glass.
The palate is remarkably intense and textural, combining richness and depth with striking composure. Notes of apricot preserve, tobacco leaf and warm spice give way to a long, savoury finish of caramelised puff pastry, oregano and chalky salinity.
Each year since and ahead, we continue to add the best parcels of Chardonnay each year to the blend, building depth and intensity to the wine in foudre as each vintage passes. Subsequent annual bottlings will gain richness from age, whilst each new wine added maintains freshness in the blend.
In Tommy’s words;
‘I want the perpetual cuvee to outlive me, I believe that with each year the wine will become more expressive of Chardonnay on our Dorset terroir, by removing vintage variation and building more and more character’
We hope that it’s a wine that will incite opinion, heated conversations and a feeling that hard work has been done and bold risks have been taken in order to achieve something truly special.
