Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

100% Timorasso, delicious and somewhat rare as grape almost disappeared. Golden yellow color, interesting aromas of sweet stone fruits and very slight honey floral notes. On the full-bodied palate flavors of peach and very ripe apple with and oily texture. Long finish ending with fruit and honey mineral notes. Will age a bit. Very nice! Grab one if you can find it.

Velvety texture and interesting herbal notes, but not too persistent and showing a touch too much alcohol.

Golden yellow in colour and nicely aromatic with dried herbs, summer meadow, hints of chamomile, plus some ripe yellow peach in the background. Rich yet salty, fresh & quite savoury.
Medium bodied on the palate, beautifully balanced with ripe peach countered by salty minerality and dried herbs.
This has quite some character so works very nicely with food (risotto milanese!!) less so for sipping solo.

Tropical, round, a little sweet, a bit of gunpowder on the nose. #westlondonwineschool
