This blend of Bacchus, Rivaner and Solaris, it offers out fresh underripe pear and banana skin. A light buttery note too, with lemongrass. A clean palate, some lemon, grapefruit and little bit of granite coming through the sweeter apple flavours. A little bit of alcohol, but it cleans up quite well for a long finish peppered with sweet and minerally notes. 7/10
The main thing you should take from this is it doesn't matter if it is biodynamic, English or made from three grape varieties that everywhere seems to shun, this is a bloody good wine. Maybe it is a couple of pounds overpriced at £13, but I can forgive this as English wine is a cottage industry and that you would be happy paying £30 for this in a restaurant.
Winemaker, and English Organic pioneer, Roy Cook has done a really good job here, and should be rightly proud of his creation.
