TASTING NOTES

A fascinating white wine. It has an arresting, herby, waxy nose with a complex, leafy edge and some peachy, tropical fruit notes. Interesting citrus and herb nose with a lemony edge, with some toasty notes. Attractive, full flavoured palate with bright lemony fruit and good balance. The high acidity and low key oaking work well here. Overall it is an attractive, savoury wine. Oz Clarke, the famous wine expert, in one of his shows on the BBC named this wine as 'the best value for money white in the U.K. at this moment.
