Wine Description
Made from 123 year old Ancestor vines planted by Thomas Hardy in 1891. The last remaining 2.54 Ha block of these vines still produces exceptionally high-quality fruit, but unlike other vines of similar longevity, they still appear youthful and barely half their age to the naked eye. They also produce yields of much younger and healthier vines. The limited production of these special wines is strictly allocated.
