Tasting Notes
COLIN HAY (THE DRINKS BUSINESS) 90-92
A Burgundian rendition of Sauvignon Blanc. Full, rich and ample with lots of weight and substance, but tension and acidity just when it needs it. Peach flesh, apricot, a little guava and then the citrus notes – grapefruit confit and citron pressé. On the finish we return to the citrus elements, with just a hint of blood orange that extends the finale. Very lovely. I look forward to following this project as it unfolds.
