Leg is a singular wine resulting from an unexpected late access to a top Tamar site. In what was certainly the last Chardonnay picking of the area, 450 kg of extra matured, gorgeously roasted grapes in perfect conditions were collected. Unsurprisingly, juice yields at the basket press were pretty low so the nectar filled only a single Francois French barrel and it took several months for wild yeasts to eat all sugars up. What came out of the cask is a voluptuous wine packed with aromatic intensity, perfectly kept fresh and lively by the signature natural acidity of the Tamar terroir.
