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.
