TASTING NOTE: Impressive autolytic character on the nose - think sourdough and fruit pie. Also plenty of citrus, apple and pear notes adding depth and complexity. Fresh and flavourful with bright citrus in a lively, inviting package. Creamy and long with a tangy finish. Try with fish and chips, or buttered popcorn. (VINTAGES panel, March 2016) |
