Tasting Notes

Flavour Profile

Tasting Notes...

Old, dry-farmed, low-yielding bush vines that produce highly concentrated grapes. Fabulous nose of apple and spiced vanilla meets honeyed peach scents with overtones of lemon verbena and toast. The concentrated creamy palate is outstanding, with fat tropical and stone fruit flavours, tangy lemon zest and green apple acidity playing against a hint of sweetness in the lingering finish

We say...

Ready for drinking now, but to give yourself a sublime experience in four/five years time, we suggest that you hold a few bottles back to mature into a sumptuous and rewarding treat - very much like an aged Vouvray!

Our Alternative Wines

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes...

There is no doubt that this beautifully balanced and aromatic wine lives up to its reputation with an intensely flavoured, distinctive varietal character.

An ideal alternative for Sancerre and Pouilly FumÌ© fans, this wine gives a little more in bouquet and palate. The pale, straw-coloured Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc glints with green, and is enticingly fragrant with lifted elderflower notes, tropical aromas of ripe peach, passion fruit, mango and citrus with hints of fennel and a touch of Pastis. The palate is ripe, fine and succulent, offering zesty ripe citrus flavours coupled with an edge of minerality and sweet herbs. A small barrel ferment component gives balancing flesh to the wine‰Ûªs crisp refreshing acidity

We say...

A classic wine from an outstanding producer
