Tasting Notes

Colour

white wine

air Nose

this is not sherry. There are very pretty notes of small white fruits, cherries, and white currants, little apples, then some light beech smoke, bread dough, and sourdough... I quite like this. With water: it becomes floral, with rose petals and honeysuckle. The honeysuckles at WF Towers are in full bloom, you should see how fragrant they are!

restaurant Palate

it combines well, though there's a slightly sulphurous edge at first. It continues with loads of peaches in all sorts and forms, plus a very slight muscat note. With water: the honeysuckle returns, with honey and a bit of cane syrup, which is less interesting, we agree

timer Finish

medium length, sweeter notes prevailing
