Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 27, 2022 - Wow what a wine. I’ve read a few positive notes on CT and spoke to a few people in various wineshops, who all raved about this wine. I have to say I share their enthusiasm.
From the moment I opened the bottle this was singing, but I poured a glass and left it for c.1hr, and the wine had evolved amazingly.
Like a few comments on here, this reminded me of a good quality white Burgundy, but it has no Chardonnay!
Deep-ish yellow colour, and quite a thick wine. Some proper tears in the glass when giving it a swirl.
The nose has ripe yellow fruits and spice / oak, with some minerals, but all with ample freshness.
On the palate much of the same with a long after taste. One of the best whites I’ve had in a while.
Had it with grilled swordfish fillets and a parsley vinaigrette dressing as a starter.
As a main course, we had rainbow trout with grilled cherry tomatoes and lemon garlic sauce.
The wine went so well with both dishes. The meatiness of the swordfish was countered by the body of the wine. And the trout swimming it its butter-based sauce brought out the best of the wine as well.
I really recommend this wine. I’m keen to get some more, but it is hard to come by.
If you do come across it, and are willing to pay c.£40 for a bottle, go for it. You will not regret it!!
