Colour
white wine
air Nose
what we liked so much in the one we tasted earlier this year (for Germany) is right here again, fresh bread, focaccia, baker’s yeast, apple and pear peelings, wee berries (rowan, service tree, holly), plus medlar and jujube. You do have to dig a little, but it’s worth it. With water: plaster, chalk, cement, slate, then freshly cut grass and a good handful of fresh barley

It’s a little austere on the palate for now, fair to say, but that’s often a good sign. With water: and there we go, the cavalry arrives right on cue—salted apples, olive biscuits, anchovy crackers, in short a superb salinity that was completely unexpected
timer Finish
