Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
white wine (indeed)
air Nose
it’s the austere, straight, rather grassy/mineral side of HP that’s showcased here, at first nosing at least. A very minimal smokiness, then rather quite some hay, with only faint touches of greengages and other plums. Not a very extravagant HP so far. With water: gets even a little shy. Hello?
restaurant Palate
oh this is very funny! Rhubarb and gooseberries, smoked. So there’s an acidic side, but there’s some green pepper as well, so you could almost use this baby to season your salads. Yes, that’s meant as a compliment. With water: the lemon comes out, and it would come with a little honey and orange blossom water. Still not a wham-bam HP, having said that
timer Finish
medium, quite zesty, lemony, ‘narrow’. Sauvignony
