Tasted by: Peter Richards MW
Drinking Window: 2020 - 2024
This bold, complex and utterly engaging white was a real find in this tasting and went straight to the top of the shopping list. From its golden hue to the engaging aromas of glazed peach and tangy, dry, pithy palate profile, it's not for the faint hearted. There's a touch of gently oxidative marmalade and ginger too, but it's elegantly done. The finish is upbeat and food-friendly. Brings sunshine into any day – organic and great value too.
