Tasted by: Julie Sheppard
(at Sainsbury's Autumn Winter 2021 Tasting, 11 Oct 2021)
Drinking Window: 2021 - 2023
An unusual white blend made with Len de l'El, a grape that's native to Southwest France – and known locally as Loin de l'oeil (literally 'far from the eye', which refers to the position of the fruit in relation to the bud or eye on the vine) –plus 7% Mauzac. Bright aromas of apples, pears and fresh lemon. Six months on lees adds a creaminess to the palate of orchard fruit and white peach, cut through with crisp acidity. Great value!
