Tasting notes:
Pale gold in colour, this enticing wine has a very complex nose of white stone fruit, beeswax, lemon peel, mace, vanilla, hazelnut and coconut. Bone-dry, it is at the same time supple and mouth-filling, with fresh acidity and medium body, yet rich and rounded on the palate. The finish is long, and this is a complex and very classic wine. I finished the bottle on the day of the tasting with Rick Stein’s sautéed squid with garlic, parsley, tomato and courgette, which was a perfect match on a warm autumn evening. (Siobhan Turner MW)
