Pale lemon with titanium edges and a low viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium (+) intensity aromas of lemon, waxy lemon peel, gooseberry, yellow apple and lanolin. The palate is dry with high acidity and a media (-) body. The fresh citrus combines with a waxiness that has both a tart and silky mouthfeel. The apple and gooseberry add dimension. It’s delicious and refreshing with a longish finish. This Sauvignon Blanc/ Semillon blend gets 90 points from me and at $24- 4 stars. Pairing is baked Trout and Jolly rice with seafood. Drink till 2026. Salut….
