Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

indeed, there is manzanilla, though more like an ‘añada’, leaning closer to a proper table white, something like those from Callejuela. So, green apples, fresh walnuts, shellfish, gentle mustard, then a few notes of nougat and coconut that feel just slightly out of place here, but nothing too serious. The casks, I’d wager. With water: not much change, only a few whiffs of snapped twigs joining in

restaurant Palate

rounder, a little sweet, closer to a Haribo pick-and-mix, so not hugely ‘Oban’ at this stage, though there are faint touches of walnut and sea salt. With water: the saline, peppery and maritime profile returns, though the American oak smooths it all out—it almost veers into banana foam territory, though with restraint

timer Finish

medium in length, sweetly wrapped, yet coastal
