  Medium minus intensity lemon, slightly waxy, smidge of almost lanolin. Medium plus intensity acidity, drying textured burr, citrus tang, slight alcohol warmth.
  Initially I thought chenin blanc so loire (as I'd settled on Old World) but the palate weight made me stray towards cooler climate chardonnay but the alcohol warmth made me go to Italy so I was thinking perhaps Pio Cesare Langhe Chardonnay? But it wasn't quite oaky enough. Pretty happy with the logic journey.

  Visit to Fletcher Wines with Dave Fletcher (Cantina del Stazione, Barbaresco): Light colour. Stony and mineral on the nose with some mealy, peach and pear notes. Also, not very citric on the palate. Mineral, nutty and weighty. Bread and orchard fruit flavours. I would have liked a little more acidity and cut.
