Shop/wine critic/winery review:
This aromatic wine shows lifted flavours of blackcurrant with underlying notes of wet stone and thyme. The palate is elegant yet full with sufficient weight and texture, balanced by a flinty minerality. This wine is a fantastic match with foods such as cheese salad, poultry dishes and a wide range of seafood dishes including freshly shucked natural oysters, prawns, green lip mussels and creamy scallops.
My Review:
This wine presents a pale yellow color and a strong acidic funky nose (little citrusy). Upon tasting, the wine is sharp, acidic, dry, funky. There is long sour finish and the wine has a nice strong acidic backbone. The funkiness is really interesting in this wine, but I'm not sure it's for me. 75-76/100
