Written Notes

Bright, yellow colour. Intense fresh fruity nose with peach and pineapple, touch of gunflint and white flowers, and some honey. Very dry and fruity palate with zesty lemony bite. Concentrated long finish shows vibrandy and purity. Very lively and energetic wine that drinks well today but will evolve in cellar well for 5-8 years. Serve chilled with battered white fish & chips with lemon and aioli, or prawns and noodles with ginger and lime. JL 89p (12/2020)
