White Rhone & Other Blends (Luddite Cellars): Lifted and fresh with gentle spice, aniseed, fennel fronds, Angelica, tarragon, steel wool and a red apple. Medium weight, the wine has fair concentration of fruit with fresh acidity and lots of peppery edges, especially cayenne and fleshes out nicely to a dry and chalky finish. Well-balanced and rounded, it lacks a little mid-palate depth.

This lovely blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne, and Macabeu has fresh, elegant, ripe, and honeyed aromas of floral, lemon citrus, orange blossom, and apple rising out of the glass with hints of grapefruit and smoky notes. On the medium+ bodied, slightly creamy palate, it has very good concentration with lovely, ripe, honeyed flavours of floral, lemon citrus, grapefruit, and leesy minerals in a dry flavour profile. It's very well-balanced and nicely textured with fresh acidity, while leesy minerals, with touches of white florals and citrus lingering on the long, flavourful, and slightly spicy finish.
