At J Sheekey with EN. A neat little Gavi - this was a lovely pairing with a range of seafood dishes, including some lovely langoustines as well as the famous fish pie. This had a nice nose on it, quite maritime, with notes of white fruit and ripe lemons on a bed of saline minerality that brought shellfish to mind. The palate was very pleasant too - creamily textured, with more ripe lemons and plump white fruit - yet very fresh and lively at the same time. There was a good bit of acidity and a nice pull of that shellfish minerality, that was introduced on the nose, taking the wine into a decently long finish that had just that little twist of bittersweet fruit peel. Simple, yet not facile, and very seafood friendly indeed. This was enjoyable.

Tsaknakis portfolio tasting (Oinoscent): Light, fresh, easy, fragrant, lemon peel, preserved lemon, palate is bigger, riper fruit, melon, nutty, medium body, high acidity, medium finish, rather tight, needs time

Light color. Aromas of yellow apples, pears, melons, citrus. Full bodied with medium acidity. Dense, very mineral, saline with long finish.
