Closing
Very interesting tour of winery by Tom Jarrett and the vineyard by Les, but I'm surprised by the inclusion of two such old Muller-Thurgaus and that they are not releasing current vintages.
1992 Shawsgate Vineyard Müller-Thurgau 77 Points
United Kingdom, England, Sussex, West Sussex
A 1992 English Muller-Thurgau? Amazing. This wine was rebottled and recorked in 2004. Citrus, very dry and sour. Not dead, but not pleasant.

1994 Shawsgate Vineyard Müller-Thurgau 78 Points
United Kingdom, England, Sussex, West Sussex
Less dry and sour than the 1992, drinkable, but as far as I am concerned too old.

Burned almond flavours, grapefruit finish turning to puckering. Odd for a medium wine :) (Blend of Muller-Thurgau/Schoenburger/Reichensteiner)

Frementation stopped to get a medium-sweet wine. Its pleasnt quaffing, easydrinking, some apple crispness underneath. (Blend of Muller-Thurgau/Schoenburger/Reichensteiner)
