The composition
February is the quietest month on the Estate. Nothing flowers, so the composition is built downwards — into roots, barks and the last of the stored fruit.
Taste
Long and dry, with cocoa bitterness and cold citrus oil.
Serve
25ml over ice, topped with chilled still water.

The plants
Meet the plants that shape August.
Every harvest is documented and assessed. We select leading plants for deeper analysis, particularly when a new cultivar, grower or harvest enters the Estate. After making, we analyse the finished edition again — so the amounts we publish describe what is present in your daily pour, not merely what was present in the field.
