Between 5 Bells White Blend 2011
A blend of Chardonnay,
Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Meunier in almost equal components.
It’s the
Chardonnay that shows on the nose, with stonefruit and toasty characters being
ably supported with a little Riesling derived lime brulee.
Entry shows a wine
of substance and texture – slippery with a lush velvet feel. There’s body
and depth too, with spicy nuances adding extra interest.
It’s one for the
acid-hounds, the wine clearly identifying itself as a product of a cool and
damp vintage. In no way does this detract from its joy, but forewarned is
forearmed. 92 - Very Good
